Onion & Citric Acid

Onion is a common vegetable known for its pungent flavor and aroma. It is the bulb of the Allium cepa plant, grown worldwide. Onions are typically used fresh, dried, or powdered in cooking.

Onion powder is used as a flavoring agent to impart the taste of onion to foods. It is found in a wide variety of savory products like soups, sauces, spice blends, and snack foods. It provides a convenient way to add onion flavor without the texture of fresh onions.

Onion powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of various nutrients and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not set specific limits for onion powder as a food ingredient, and there are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption at typical levels.
