What it is
Artificial flavors are compounds that mimic natural flavors but are synthesized in a lab. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources and are processed to create specific taste profiles. Both are used to add or enhance taste in food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use natural and artificial flavors to add or intensify taste and aroma in a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, beverages, and confectionery.
Health notes
The FDA considers both natural and artificial flavors to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavor compounds. While generally safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may report sensitivities to specific flavorings. Research into the long-term health effects of consuming complex mixtures of artificial flavors is ongoing.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, some natural flavors may be derived from common allergens like soy, wheat, or milk, though typically in amounts too small to trigger an allergic reaction. Gluten is not typically present.
