What it is

Natural seasoning is a broad term used by food manufacturers to describe flavorings derived from natural sources. These can include spices, herbs, vegetables, fruits, or other plant-based materials. The exact composition is often proprietary and not fully disclosed on the ingredient list.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural seasoning to enhance or impart specific flavors in food products. It is commonly found in processed fruits and vegetables, frozen baked goods, and appetizers. The goal is to create a more appealing taste profile for consumers.

Health notes

In the U.S., 'natural seasoning' is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various natural flavoring substances. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, the specific health effects depend entirely on the individual components within the seasoning blend, which are not always specified.

Allergen info

Natural seasoning is not a major allergen. However, depending on its specific components, it could potentially contain allergens like wheat or soy derivatives, though this is not common for the general term.
