What it is
Savory seasoning is a blend of spices, herbs, and other flavorings designed to add a savory or umami taste to foods. The specific ingredients can vary widely but often include salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and various spices like pepper or paprika. It is created by combining and processing these individual components.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use savory seasoning to enhance the flavor profile of a wide range of food products, making them more appealing to consumers. It is commonly found in snacks, processed meats, soups, sauces, and frozen meals. Its primary function is to provide a rich, satisfying taste.
Health notes
Savory seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The individual components are typically common food ingredients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the common spices and herbs used in these blends. At typical consumption levels, these seasonings do not pose health risks.
Allergen info
Savory seasoning is not a major allergen. However, specific blends may contain or be processed with ingredients that are major allergens, such as wheat or soy, so checking the product label is recommended.
