Jalapeo Pepper Pure

Jalapeño pepper pure is a processed form of the jalapeño chili pepper, which is a medium-sized chili pepper variety. It is made by pureeing the peppers, often with added water or other ingredients, to create a smooth paste or sauce.

Manufacturers use jalapeño pepper pure to add a spicy, distinct pepper flavor and aroma to foods. It is commonly found in savory products like sauces, dips, marinades, snacks, and processed meats.

Jalapeño pepper pure is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, has been studied for various health effects, though evidence is mixed and often based on high-dose supplements. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but no specific regulatory limits are typically set for the whole pepper ingredient in this context. It is a source of vitamins A and C.
