About Flavoring, spice or herb

Flavoring, spice or herb is a broad category for ingredients used to add flavour, including spices and herbs. It does not name a particular plant, preparation, or blend, and may cover whole, cut, dried, powdered, or otherwise processed ingredients.

It is used in food preparation or as a component of manufactured foods. Appearance, texture, aroma, and taste vary widely across this category and depend on the ingredient and processing, so a specific flavour profile or physical form cannot be assigned from the label.
