What it is

Ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is produced naturally through the fermentation of sugars by yeast or bacteria, or synthetically from petroleum products.

Why it's used

Alcohol is used in food primarily as a solvent for flavors and extracts, and as a preservative. It can also contribute to the texture and taste of baked goods and confectionery.

Health notes

The FDA considers ethanol to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified ethanol as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning there is sufficient evidence that it causes cancer in humans. Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to numerous health problems, including liver disease, heart disease, and certain cancers.

Allergen info

Alcohol is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
