What it is
Added For Flavor is not a specific ingredient but a category used on ingredient lists. It indicates that flavorings have been added to the food product. These flavorings can be natural or artificial and are used to enhance or impart a specific taste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add ingredients labeled 'Added For Flavor' to improve the taste and aroma of food products. They are commonly found in processed foods like sauces, snacks, baked goods, and beverages to make them more appealing to consumers.
Health notes
The FDA regulates flavorings. Some flavorings are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), while others are approved food additives. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavorings, often setting acceptable daily intakes. The specific health effects depend on the individual flavoring agent and the amount consumed. Generally, at typical usage levels in food, these ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Whether a flavoring is derived from a major allergen depends on the specific ingredient. Some natural flavorings can be derived from sources like soy, wheat, or milk. Manufacturers must declare major allergens if they are present in the product. Not a major allergen is not always true.
