What it is

A taco spice blend is a mixture of dried herbs and spices used to flavor Mexican-inspired dishes. Common ingredients include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Some blends may also contain salt, sugar, and anti-caking agents.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use taco spice blends to add a savory, slightly spicy flavor to a wide variety of foods. They are frequently added to cheese products, snack foods like chips and dips, seasoned meats, and sauces.

Health notes

Taco spice blends are generally considered safe for consumption. The individual spices are common food ingredients. The FDA has not established specific regulations for spice blends as a whole, but the components are widely used and recognized as safe. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual spices and generally found them safe for use in food. There are no widespread health controversies associated with typical consumption of taco spice blends.

Allergen info

Taco spice blends are not typically derived from the nine major allergens. However, some blends may contain spices processed in facilities that also handle allergens, so cross-contamination is a possibility. Gluten is not typically an ingredient.
