Tasteless Smoke Used

Tasteless Smoke is a brand name for liquid smoke that has had the smoky flavor compounds removed. It is made from wood smoke, typically hickory or mesquite, which is then processed to remove the flavor and color. The resulting liquid is primarily water and acetic acid.

Manufacturers add Tasteless Smoke as a preservative and antimicrobial agent. It is often used in processed meats, seafood, and other food products to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. It is commonly found in fish and seafood products.

Tasteless Smoke is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It functions as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated liquid smoke products, but specific evaluations of 'Tasteless Smoke' as a distinct ingredient are less common. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
