What it is

Spices are a diverse group of dried seeds, fruits, roots, barks, or vegetative substances used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a flavoring, coloring, or preservative agent. They are typically sourced from tropical regions. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans, a legume.

Why it's used

Spices are used to add flavor and aroma to a wide variety of foods, including savory dishes, baked goods, and beverages. When added as a processing aid, soybean oil helps prevent ingredients from sticking to processing equipment.

Health notes

Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. The FDA has not set specific limits for their use as flavoring agents. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many spices, and their use in typical amounts is not associated with adverse health effects. Some spices may have antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

Soybean oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Spices themselves are not typically considered major allergens, but cross-contamination can occur during processing.
