What it is
Salted caramel swirl is a sweet and salty topping or filling made from caramel sauce that has salt added. It is typically made by heating sugar until it caramelizes, then adding butter and cream, followed by salt. The mixture is then cooled and often swirled into other food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add salted caramel swirl to provide a sweet, salty, and rich flavor profile. It is commonly found in desserts like ice cream, cakes, cookies, and pastries, as well as in beverages such as coffee drinks.
Health notes
Salted caramel swirl is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugar, fat, and salt, and high intake of these components is linked to health concerns like weight gain and cardiovascular issues. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the individual components of caramel and salt. There are no widespread controversies regarding the use of caramel swirl itself in typical food amounts.
Allergen info
Salted caramel swirl itself is not a major allergen. However, it may contain or be made with dairy (butter, cream), which is a major allergen. Check product labels for specific ingredients.
