What it is

Italian spice blend is a mixture of dried herbs and spices commonly used in Italian cuisine. Typical ingredients include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and sometimes garlic powder or red pepper flakes. The exact composition can vary by manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Italian spice blend to add savory, aromatic flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is frequently found in pasta sauces, salad dressings, marinades, breadsticks, and frozen Italian-style meals. It enhances the taste and aroma profile of savory dishes.

Health notes

Italian spice blend is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. The individual herbs and spices within the blend have been consumed for centuries without widespread reports of adverse effects at typical dietary levels. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated many of the individual spices for safety. Evidence regarding specific health benefits or risks is typically associated with the individual components rather than the blend itself.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Gluten may be present if the blend is processed in a facility that also handles wheat, but the blend itself does not contain wheat.
