What it is
Less than 0.5% Of is not an ingredient itself but a declaration on a food label. It indicates that the combined amount of certain ingredients listed after this phrase is very small, specifically less than half of one percent of the total product weight. This is often used for minor ingredients that contribute to flavor, color, or texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use 'Less than 0.5% Of' to list ingredients present in very small quantities. These can include spices, flavorings, colors, or preservatives. This allows for a more concise ingredient list while still disclosing all components.
Health notes
The FDA requires all ingredients to be listed on a food label, including those present in amounts less than 0.5%. The safety of these minor ingredients depends on their individual properties and the specific amounts consumed. Regulatory bodies like the FDA evaluate the safety of food ingredients. JECFA and EFSA also evaluate food additives for safety.
Allergen info
Whether ingredients listed under 'Less than 0.5% Of' are major allergens depends on the specific ingredients. Consumers should check the full ingredient list for any of the nine FDA major allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame).
