What it is

Liquid smoke is a product made by condensing the smoke from burning wood. It is used to impart a smoky flavor to foods without the need for traditional smoking methods. The process typically involves burning hardwoods like hickory or mesquite and then capturing the smoke's volatile compounds.

Why it's used

Liquid smoke is added to foods to provide a smoky taste and aroma. It is commonly found in processed meats, barbecue sauces, snacks, and seasonings. Its use allows manufacturers to achieve a consistent smoky flavor profile in a wide range of products.

Health notes

Liquid smoke is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated smoke flavorings. Some studies have raised concerns about certain compounds found in smoke, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but the levels in commercially available liquid smoke products are typically considered safe for consumption at normal intake levels. Research is ongoing to fully understand the long-term health effects.

Allergen info

Liquid smoke is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
