What it is
Seasonings are mixtures of herbs, spices, salt, and other flavor enhancers. They are used to add or enhance the taste of foods. The specific ingredients can vary widely depending on the intended flavor profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add seasonings to make food more palatable and to create distinct flavor profiles. They are found in a vast array of food products, including savory dishes like pizzas, soups, and burgers, as well as processed meats.
Health notes
Seasonings themselves are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The individual components of a seasoning blend are typically consumed in small amounts, and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common spices and herbs used in seasonings. While some individual spices may have traditional uses for health, scientific evidence for specific health benefits or risks at typical consumption levels is often limited or mixed.
Allergen info
Seasonings are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, some seasoning blends may contain or be processed with ingredients that are major allergens, such as wheat (gluten) or soy. Consumers should check the ingredient list for specific allergen warnings.
