What it is

Sauce seasoning is a blend of herbs, spices, and other flavorings used to enhance the taste of sauces, particularly tomato-based sauces for pasta and pizza. The specific ingredients can vary widely but often include garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and pepper. It is typically manufactured by combining and grinding these dried ingredients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sauce seasoning to provide a savory and aromatic flavor profile to foods like pasta sauces, pizza sauces, and marinades. It helps create a complex taste that complements the primary ingredients. It is commonly found in packaged pasta dishes, pizza, and spice blends.

Health notes

Sauce seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. The individual spices and herbs within the blend have been consumed for centuries without significant adverse effects at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many common spices and herbs used in these blends. Evidence does not suggest negative health impacts from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Sauce seasoning is not a major allergen. However, some blends may contain or be processed in facilities that handle major allergens like wheat or soy, so checking the product label is recommended.
