What it is

This is a concentrated form of vinegar, typically white vinegar, that has been diluted with water. Vinegar is made by a two-step fermentation process, first turning sugars into alcohol, then converting the alcohol into acetic acid by bacteria.

Why it's used

It is used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer in foods. Manufacturers add it to provide a sour taste and to help preserve foods. It is commonly found in salad dressings, pickles, sauces, and marinades.

Health notes

Vinegar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. Acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, is not known to cause harm at the levels typically consumed in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vinegar and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
