Health notes
As a blend of spices and flavorings, Spicy Jalapeno Seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when its individual components are used in appropriate amounts. The capsaicin in jalapenos is responsible for their heat and can cause a burning sensation, especially for individuals sensitive to spicy foods. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate individual food additives rather than complex seasoning blends. There are no notable controversies surrounding this seasoning blend as a whole.
