Relish Stock

Relish stock is a liquid base used in the production of relishes. It is typically made by simmering vegetables like onions, peppers, and celery, along with spices and vinegar, to create a flavorful broth.

Manufacturers use relish stock as a foundational ingredient to impart a savory and tangy flavor profile to various relishes. It is commonly found in sweet relish, hot dog relish, and other pickled vegetable products.

Relish stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The FDA has not set specific limits for its use, and it is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in normal amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'relish stock' as a standalone ingredient are not widely published.
