What it is
Red onion powder is made from dried, ground red onions. Red onions are a variety of onion (Allium cepa) known for their purplish-red skin and flesh. The dehydration and grinding process concentrates the onion's flavor and aroma.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use red onion powder as a flavoring agent to impart a savory, slightly sweet onion taste. It is commonly found in spice blends, dry mixes, sauces, salad dressings, marinades, and processed snacks.
Health notes
Red onion powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of various phytonutrients, including anthocyanins, which give red onions their color. JECFA has evaluated onion powder and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Onions are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
