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

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.
