Health notes

Onion and parsley are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for this combination are not widely publicized. Evidence suggests that compounds in onions and parsley may have antioxidant properties, but more research is needed to confirm significant health benefits from typical dietary intake.
