What it is

Mustard sauce is a condiment made from mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and seasonings. The seeds are ground into a powder or paste, then mixed with other ingredients to create a smooth or coarse sauce. Varieties range from mild yellow mustard to spicier Dijon or whole-grain mustards.

Why it's used

Mustard sauce is primarily used to add a tangy, pungent flavor to a wide variety of foods. It acts as a flavor enhancer and is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sandwich spreads, and as a dipping sauce for meats and appetizers.

Health notes

Mustard sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The FDA has not set specific upper limits for its consumption. JECFA has evaluated mustard and its preparations, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Mustard is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
