What it is

Sriracha seasoning is a spice blend that mimics the flavor of Sriracha hot sauce. It typically includes chili peppers, garlic, sugar, salt, and vinegar powder, along with other spices and flavorings. The blend is designed to provide a spicy, savory, and slightly sweet taste profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Sriracha seasoning to add a distinct spicy and savory flavor to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snacks like popcorn, chips, and nuts, as well as in marinades, rubs, and spice blends. Its versatility allows it to enhance the taste of both savory and some sweet applications.

Health notes

Sriracha seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The individual components, such as chili peppers and garlic, are common food ingredients with long histories of use. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual spices and flavor compounds found in such blends. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of Sriracha seasoning.

Allergen info

Sriracha seasoning is not typically derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, always check the product label for specific ingredients, as some manufacturers may add ingredients that contain allergens. It does not contain gluten unless a gluten-containing ingredient is specifically added.
