What it is

Vegan seasoning is a blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes other flavorings designed to mimic the taste of traditional seasonings that may contain animal products. The specific ingredients can vary widely by manufacturer but often include salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and various herbs like parsley or dill. It is created by combining and processing these individual components.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use vegan seasoning to add savory flavor and depth to plant-based foods, particularly in meat alternatives, seafood alternatives, and prepared vegetarian dishes. It helps create a familiar and appealing taste profile for consumers seeking vegan options. It is commonly found in frozen vegetarian entrees, plant-based seafood, and seasoned vegetable products.

Health notes

Vegan seasoning is generally considered safe for consumption as its components are typically common food ingredients like herbs and spices. The FDA considers many individual spices and herbs to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used for flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common spices and herbs, typically finding them safe for consumption at typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from the consumption of typical amounts of vegan seasoning.

Allergen info

Vegan seasoning is not typically derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. However, consumers should always check the ingredient list for specific products, as some blends may include ingredients derived from allergens like soy or wheat, or be processed in facilities that handle allergens.
