What it is

Mixed spice is a traditional spice blend commonly used in British and Commonwealth baking. It typically combines ground spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice, though the exact composition can vary by manufacturer and region.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mixed spice to add a warm, complex flavor to baked goods, desserts, and savory dishes. It is frequently found in cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, and sometimes in curries or marinades.

Health notes

Mixed spice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various individual spices commonly found in mixed spice blends. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use in food.

Allergen info

Mixed spice is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten unless a specific ingredient like wheat flour is added to the blend, which is uncommon.
