Sea Salt Caramel Drizzle

Sea Salt Caramel Drizzle is a sweet and savory topping or inclusion made from caramel, which is sugar heated until it caramelizes, combined with sea salt. It often includes dairy ingredients like cream or butter to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. The sea salt provides a contrasting flavor that enhances the sweetness of the caramel.

Manufacturers add sea salt caramel drizzle primarily for its distinctive flavor, sweetness, and textural contribution. It is commonly used as a topping or filling in desserts, baked goods, and snacks, such as cookies, brittle crisps, and ice cream. Its appealing taste and visual appeal make it a popular ingredient in many indulgent food products.

Sea Salt Caramel Drizzle is a composite food ingredient, not a single additive, and is generally recognized as safe when its individual components are consumed as part of a balanced diet. Its primary components, sugar and salt, should be consumed in moderation. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. Neither JECFA nor EFSA evaluate composite food items like 'Sea Salt Caramel Drizzle' directly, but they do evaluate its individual components.
