Thanks to Carol for this question: "I am wondering if you are planning to write anything about the current Salmonella Tennessee in hydrolyzed vegetable protein... and how it just might be in 'everything.'"
I wasn't planning to make a big deal of the recall of hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) - and the more than 100 products containing this flavor ingredient in the United States and in Canada – because the FDA seems on the job and nobody is getting sick (as far as we know).
But this one now looks like another food safety scandal.
To begin with, HVP is one of those fifth flavor, umami substances. As the FDA explains,
HVP is a flavor enhancer used in a wide variety of processed food products, such as soups, sauces, chilis, stews, hot dogs, gravies, seasoned snack foods, dips, and dressings. It is often blended with other spices to make seasonings that are used in or on foods.
Translation: it is indeed in everything....
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is found in soups, sauces, chilis, stews, hot dogs, gravies, snack foods, dips and dressings. The salmonella in one company's HVP could lead to the largest food recall in U.S. history.
Dinner just got easier with this no fuss pasta meal. No-cook tomato sauces cling best to corkscrew or penne pastas.
