What it is

Infused lemon rind is made by steeping lemon peels in a liquid, often oil or a sugar syrup. This process extracts the aromatic oils and flavors from the rind. The infused liquid or the rind itself is then used as a flavoring ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add infused lemon rind to impart a bright, citrusy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods such as croissants, muffins, cakes, and cookies, as well as in candies and desserts.

Health notes

Infused lemon rind is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is a natural source of flavor compounds. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'infused lemon rind' as a distinct ingredient are not typically listed. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Lemon rind is derived from a fruit.
