What it is

Organic spice extracts are concentrated flavorings derived from spices like cinnamon, ginger, or cloves. They are produced by using organic solvents or CO2 to pull the aromatic compounds from the spice material. The solvent is then removed, leaving a potent liquid or solid extract.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic spice extracts to add or enhance the natural flavor of foods without adding bulk. They are commonly found in baked goods, beverages, sauces, marinades, and processed meats like pepperoni and salami.

Health notes

Organic spice extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated many spice extracts. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, some spices can cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
