Health notes
Herb dip is generally considered a food ingredient rather than a regulated food additive. Its health implications are primarily related to its base ingredients, such as fat and salt content from mayonnaise or dairy. The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) do not specifically regulate herb dip as an additive. Dietary advice from the NHS suggests moderation in the consumption of high-fat, high-salt foods.
Allergen info
Herb dip may contain allergens depending on its specific ingredients. For example, if made with dairy, it would contain milk. If mayonnaise is used, it may contain egg. Mustard is also a common ingredient in some herb dips. Always check the product label for specific allergen information.
