What it is

Organic rosemary extract is a natural antioxidant derived from the leaves of the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis). It is typically produced by extracting compounds from dried rosemary using solvents like ethanol or supercritical carbon dioxide, followed by purification.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic rosemary extract primarily as a natural antioxidant to prevent fats and oils from going rancid, extending the shelf life of products. It is commonly found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, processed meats, baked goods, and other foods containing fats and oils.

Health notes

Organic rosemary extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It is valued for its antioxidant properties, which may help protect cells from damage. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rosemary extracts, and EFSA has also reviewed their safety. Evidence on specific health benefits at typical dietary intake levels is still being researched.

Allergen info

Rosemary extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
