What it is

Shrimp extract powder is made from dried, ground shrimp. The process typically involves drying the shrimp and then grinding them into a fine powder. This powder is used to impart a concentrated shrimp flavor to foods.

Why it's used

Shrimp extract powder is primarily used as a flavoring agent to add a savory, seafood taste. It is commonly found in instant noodle seasonings, snack foods like chips and pretzels, and various soup mixes where a distinct shrimp flavor is desired.

Health notes

Shrimp extract powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar seafood extracts, but specific evaluations for shrimp extract powder may vary.

Allergen info

Shrimp is one of the FDA's nine major food allergens (shellfish). Therefore, shrimp extract powder is considered a shellfish allergen.
