What it is

Roasted peanut extract is a flavoring ingredient made from roasted peanuts. The roasting process enhances the nutty flavor of the peanuts, and then an extraction process captures these flavor compounds. This concentrated liquid or powder is used to impart a distinct peanut taste to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted peanut extract to add or boost the peanut flavor in a variety of foods without adding the bulk of whole peanuts. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes, cupcakes, and pastries, as well as in snack bars and confectionery products where a strong peanut taste is desired.

Health notes

In the U.S., roasted peanut extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a flavoring. It is not associated with specific health benefits or risks when consumed in typical amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for roasted peanut extract are not widely publicized.

Allergen info

Roasted peanut extract is derived from peanuts, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with peanut allergies should avoid products containing this ingredient.
