What it is

Spice and nisin preparation is a blend of spices and nisin, a natural antimicrobial peptide. Nisin is produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis and is used to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, extending the shelf life of foods. The spice component adds flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

This preparation is primarily used as a preservative to prevent spoilage and enhance the safety of food products. It is often found in processed foods like soups, entrees, and deli items, where it helps maintain product quality and prevent the growth of undesirable microorganisms.

Health notes

Nisin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. Regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA have evaluated nisin, and it is permitted for use in many food categories. Studies on nisin have not indicated significant adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. JECFA has also evaluated nisin and found it safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Nisin is derived from milk but is a protein produced by bacteria, not a direct milk allergen. It is not considered a major allergen. Gluten is not present.
