What it is
Spices are dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances used primarily for flavoring, coloring, or preserving food. They are derived from plants and can be used whole, ground, or in other forms. Examples include pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add spices to enhance the flavor and aroma of foods. They are used in a wide variety of products, including savory dishes, baked goods, processed meats, and sauces. The term 'spices' on a label indicates the presence of one or more flavoring plant parts.
Health notes
Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices, often finding them safe for consumption. While some spices contain beneficial compounds, their amounts in typical food use are usually too small to have significant health effects. Some spices may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Allergen info
Spices are not among the nine major allergens. However, some spices can be cross-contaminated with allergens during processing. Gluten is not typically present in spices unless they are processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains.
