What it is

Natural spice extractive is a concentrated flavoring derived from spices. It is produced by extracting the aromatic and flavor compounds from spices using solvents like water, alcohol, or oil, and then removing the solvent. This process captures the essence of the spice in a more potent form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural spice extractives to add or enhance the flavor of foods. They provide a consistent and concentrated spice taste without the visual presence of spice particles. These extractives are commonly found in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs, snack foods, seasoning mixes, salts, and marinades.

Health notes

Natural spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavorings, and these extractives fall under their purview. At typical consumption levels, they do not pose health risks. There are no widespread controversies or significant health concerns associated with their use as flavoring agents.

Allergen info

Natural spice extractives are not derived from major allergens. They do not contain gluten. Not a major allergen.
