Pizza seasoning for snacks is a powder designed to recall a slice of pizza: tomato, cheese, garlic, onion and Italian herbs such as oregano and basil. Each maker keeps its recipe to itself, but these seasonings typically combine tomato powder, cheese or whey powder, onion and garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, sugar, flavour enhancers and a natural colour for an orange-red tint.
On Pringles Pizza, pizza seasoning makes up 4.1% of the crisps. The same label also lists the flavour enhancers disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate, food acids such as malic acid (INS 296) and citric acid (INS 330) for tang, and paprika oleoresin (INS 160c (i)) for colour.
Because pizza flavours usually rely on cheese, these seasonings often contain milk, and the allergen statement on the pack shows whether this one does.
