What it is
Red pepper and salt is a blend of dried, ground red chili peppers and sodium chloride (salt). The peppers are typically grown and harvested, then dried and ground into a powder. Salt is a mineral that is mined or evaporated from seawater.
Why it's used
This blend is primarily used to add flavor and a mild to moderate level of heat to foods. It is a common seasoning in many savory dishes, including pizzas, deli salads, ketchup, mustard, and various sauces.
Health notes
Red pepper and salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. Salt is essential for human health, but excessive intake is linked to high blood pressure by health organizations like the WHO. Red pepper contains capsaicin, which may have some health benefits, but research is ongoing. Both ingredients have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA.
Allergen info
Red pepper and salt are not among the FDA's major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
