What it is
Product of Turkey refers to food items that are grown, harvested, or processed in Turkey. Turkey is a country located in Western Asia and Southeastern Europe. Many agricultural products, including fruits, nuts, and grains, are produced there.
Why it's used
Foods labeled 'Product of Turkey' are typically whole or minimally processed items like dried fruits, nuts, or grains. Manufacturers use these ingredients for their natural flavor, texture, and nutritional content in products such as snack mixes, baked goods, and cereals.
Health notes
The FDA does not specifically regulate 'Product of Turkey' as an ingredient but oversees food safety for all imported goods. The health implications depend entirely on the specific food item itself. Regulatory bodies like the FDA, EFSA, and WHO/IARC evaluate the safety of individual food ingredients, not country of origin labels.
Allergen info
This depends on the specific food product. If the product is, for example, dried apricots, it is not a major allergen. However, if it is a mixed product, other allergens may be present.
