What it is

Salted Bourbon is a flavoring ingredient made by combining bourbon whiskey with salt. Bourbon is a type of American whiskey made primarily from corn. The salt is added to enhance and balance the flavor profile of the bourbon.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Salted Bourbon primarily as a flavoring agent to impart a sweet, smoky, and slightly salty taste to foods. It is often found in savory dishes like frozen dinners, prepared meats, and canned beans, as well as in some baked goods and sauces.

Health notes

Salted Bourbon is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring ingredient. The primary health considerations relate to its sodium content from the salt and the alcohol content from the bourbon, though the amounts used in food are typically small. JECFA has evaluated bourbon and its components, but has not set a specific ADI for the combined ingredient. Evidence on the health effects of moderate alcohol consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others highlighting risks.

Allergen info

Salted Bourbon is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless a gluten-containing grain was used in the bourbon's production, which is uncommon for bourbon.
