What it is

Vanillin is a synthetic flavoring agent that mimics the taste and aroma of natural vanilla. It is typically produced through chemical synthesis, often starting from compounds like guaiacol or lignin, a byproduct of wood pulp processing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vanillin to provide a sweet, creamy vanilla flavor to a wide range of products. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, ice cream, chocolate, and beverages.

Health notes

Vanillin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated vanillin and established acceptable daily intake levels. At typical consumption levels found in food, vanillin is not associated with adverse health effects for most people.

Allergen info

Vanillin is not a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
