What it is

Lemon pepper seasoning is a blend of dried lemon zest or powder and black pepper. It may also include other spices and seasonings like salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and citric acid for a tangy, savory flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lemon pepper seasoning to add a bright, zesty, and slightly spicy flavor to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in marinades, rubs, sauces, seafood dishes, chicken, and vegetable preparations.

Health notes

Lemon pepper seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice or flavoring. The FDA has not set specific upper intake limits for typical seasoning blends. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated individual components like pepper and citric acid, setting acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of lemon pepper seasoning.

Allergen info

Lemon pepper seasoning is not a major allergen. However, always check the ingredient list for potential cross-contamination or added ingredients that may contain allergens.
