What it is
Vanilla sea salt is a blend of sea salt and vanilla flavoring. Sea salt is harvested from evaporated seawater, while vanilla flavoring is derived from vanilla beans or synthesized. The combination creates a sweet and salty taste profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add vanilla sea salt to enhance flavor in a variety of foods. It is often used in sweet and savory applications, such as baked goods, chocolates, caramels, and snack mixes, to provide a complex sweet and salty taste.
Health notes
Vanilla sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for vanilla or sea salt individually when consumed in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vanilla and its derivatives, but no specific numeric limits are provided here. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption.
Allergen info
Vanilla sea salt is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
