Health notes
Red chili pepper powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for chili peppers' heat, has been studied for potential health effects, though evidence is mixed. Some research suggests it may influence metabolism or pain perception, but more studies are needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated capsaicinoids, but have not set specific numerical limits for dietary intake. High intake of very spicy foods may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.
