What it is

Spices are natural plant parts like seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or buds used to add flavor to food. Spice extractives are concentrated flavor compounds derived from these plants, often using solvents like alcohol or water. They provide a more intense and consistent flavor than whole spices.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add spices and extractives primarily to enhance or add flavor to foods. They are used in a vast array of products, including savory dishes, baked goods, processed meats, sauces, and snacks.

Health notes

Spices and their extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual spices and their extracts. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, some individuals may experience digestive upset from very large quantities of certain spices. Evidence regarding specific long-term health effects from typical dietary intake is limited.

Allergen info

Spices are not among the 9 major FDA allergens. However, some spice products may be processed in facilities that handle allergens, leading to potential cross-contamination. Gluten is not typically present in pure spices.
