What it is

Spices are natural substances derived from plants, such as seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or leaves. They are used to add flavor and aroma to food. Examples include pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add spices to enhance the taste and smell of a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in savory dishes, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many spices and set acceptable daily intakes. While some spices contain beneficial compounds, they are typically consumed in small amounts, so significant health effects from typical dietary intake are unlikely.

Allergen info

Spices are not among the 9 FDA major allergens. Some spices, like mustard or celery, can be allergens for sensitive individuals, but they are not considered major allergens. Gluten is not typically present in spices.
