What it is

This phrase indicates that a food product contains both natural and artificial flavoring substances. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources, while artificial flavors are created synthetically. Both are used to impart specific tastes and aromas to food.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural and artificial flavors to enhance or create desirable taste profiles in a wide range of products, including beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and snacks. They are used to mimic fruit, spice, or other complex flavors.

Health notes

Both natural and artificial flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the FDA and EFSA continuously review the safety of food ingredients. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavoring compounds.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, the source of natural flavors can occasionally be from major allergens like milk, soy, or wheat, though these are typically highly purified.
