What it is

Spice extractives are concentrated flavor compounds derived from spices. They are typically produced by extracting the flavor components from spices using solvents like ethanol or water, and then removing the solvent. The dextrose carrier is a form of sugar that helps to stabilize and standardize the spice extractives for easier use in food production.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add spice extractives to provide or enhance specific spice flavors in food products. They are used in a wide variety of foods where a consistent and potent spice flavor is desired, including processed meats, sauces, baked goods, and snacks.

Health notes

Spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as flavoring agents. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'spice extractives on a dextrose carrier' are not readily available. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Dextrose is derived from corn, which is not one of the 9 major allergens. Spice sources vary, but are not typically major allergens.
