Health notes
Jalapeños are a natural food product and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are a source of vitamins A and C, and contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Some research suggests capsaicin may have anti-inflammatory properties, but more studies are needed. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have not classified jalapeños specifically, but have evaluated capsaicinoids. Evidence regarding health effects at typical dietary intake levels is generally considered safe.
