What it is

Salted chili is a food preparation made from chili peppers and salt. It involves preserving chili peppers, often by fermenting or brining them, to create a flavorful and spicy condiment or ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salted chili primarily for its spicy flavor and heat. It is commonly found in Asian-inspired dishes, sauces, marinades, and as a condiment in various packaged foods.

Health notes

Salted chili is considered a food ingredient rather than a food additive. Its main components, chili peppers and salt, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. However, due to its salt content, consuming large amounts could contribute to high sodium intake, which the FDA recommends limiting to 2,300 mg per day. There are no specific JECFA or EFSA evaluations for "salted chili" as a single food additive.
