What it is

Roasted red pepper is a pepper that has been exposed to high heat, typically by roasting or grilling. This process softens the pepper and brings out its natural sweetness. It is often used as a base for sauces, dips, and spreads.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted red pepper to add a smoky, sweet flavor and a vibrant red color to foods. It is commonly found in dips, salsas, spreads, pasta sauces, and as a filling for sandwiches and wraps.

Health notes

Roasted red pepper is a vegetable and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins A and C. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated roasted red pepper as a distinct food additive, as it is considered a whole food ingredient.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Peppers are not among the nine major allergens designated by the FDA.
