Mustard And Celery

Mustard and celery are both vegetables. Mustard is a plant in the Brassica family, grown for its seeds, which are ground and mixed with water, vinegar, and spices to make prepared mustard. Celery is a marshland plant with stalks, leaves, and seeds used as a vegetable and flavoring.

Mustard and celery are used to add flavor to foods. Prepared mustard is often used as a condiment or in sauces and dressings. Celery, or its extract, can be used to add a savory flavor to processed meats, soups, and snacks.

Mustard and celery are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are common food items with no specific regulatory concerns at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various components and preparations of mustard and celery, generally finding them safe for consumption.
