What it is
Oyster extract is made from the meat of oysters. The oysters are typically cooked, and then the liquid released is concentrated and often seasoned. It is used to add a savory, umami flavor to foods.
Why it's used
Oyster extract is used as a flavoring agent, particularly in Asian cuisines, to provide a rich, savory taste. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, soups, and stir-fry dishes.
Health notes
Oyster extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of naturally occurring minerals like zinc and selenium. JECFA has evaluated oyster extract and has not specified a numerical acceptable daily intake. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels.
Allergen info
Oyster extract is derived from shellfish, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. People with shellfish allergies should avoid products containing oyster extract.
