What it is

Mustard flavor is a complex blend of natural and/or artificial compounds designed to mimic the taste of mustard. It can be derived from mustard seeds, vinegar, spices, and other natural flavorings, or created synthetically.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mustard flavor to impart a pungent, tangy taste to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, marinades, processed meats, and snacks.

Health notes

Mustard flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavor compounds. At typical consumption levels, mustard flavor is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence regarding specific flavor compounds is ongoing.

Allergen info

Mustard is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, mustard seeds themselves can be an allergen for some individuals.
