What it is
Spices are dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a flavoring, coloring, or preservative agent. Spice extractives are concentrated forms of spices, often produced using solvents or other extraction methods to capture the volatile flavor and aroma compounds.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add spices and their extractives to enhance or impart flavor to a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in processed meats, sauces, baked goods, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals, providing diverse taste profiles from savory to sweet.
Health notes
Spices and spice extractives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual spices and their components for safety. While generally considered safe in typical food use, some individuals may experience sensitivities or allergic reactions to specific spices.
Allergen info
Spices themselves are not among the 9 FDA major allergens. However, some spice products may be processed in facilities that also handle allergens, leading to potential cross-contamination. Check product labels for specific allergen warnings.
