Tomato Basil Seasoning

Tomato basil seasoning is a blend of dried tomatoes, basil, and often other spices and herbs. The ingredients are typically dried and ground to create a powder that can be easily incorporated into food products. It provides a savory, herbaceous flavor profile.

Manufacturers use tomato basil seasoning to add a distinct tomato and basil flavor to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in snack foods like chips and pretzels, as well as in soups, dips, and marinades. The blend offers a convenient way to impart a popular flavor combination.

Tomato basil seasoning is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is composed of common food ingredients and does not have specific regulatory limits for typical dietary intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual spices and herbs used in such blends. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of tomato and basil.
