What it is

Spice flavoring is a broad category that refers to ingredients derived from plants, such as seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances. These are used primarily for imparting flavor and aroma to foods. They can be used whole, ground, or as extracts.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use spice flavorings to enhance or add taste and aroma to a wide variety of food products. They are common in processed meats, pickles, relishes, and frozen appetizers. These flavorings can also be used to create specific taste profiles in sauces and dressings.

Health notes

Spice flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated many individual spices and their extracts. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, some individuals may experience sensitivities or allergic reactions to specific spices.

Allergen info

Spice flavorings are not derived from major allergens, though some spices can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Gluten is not typically present unless cross-contamination occurs during processing.
