What it is

Spice and color is a blend of spices and artificial colors used to enhance the appearance and flavor of food products. The specific spices and colors used can vary widely depending on the manufacturer and the intended product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spice and color blends to add visual appeal and taste to a variety of foods. They are commonly found in processed foods such as sauces, soups, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals, where they contribute to a more appetizing presentation and a richer flavor profile.

Health notes

In the US, the individual components of spice and color blends are subject to FDA regulations. Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used for flavoring. Artificial colors are approved by the FDA for specific uses. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices and color additives. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to certain artificial colors.

Allergen info

Spice and color blends are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, it is always advisable to check the ingredient list for any specific allergens, as some blends may contain or be processed with allergens.
