What it is

Aromas are flavorings that add taste and smell to foods. They can be derived from natural sources like plants and animals, or created synthetically in a lab. The term 'aroma' on a label often refers to a complex mixture of compounds designed to mimic a specific flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use aromas to enhance or impart specific flavors in a wide range of products, from baked goods and beverages to savory dishes and confectionery. They help create a consistent and appealing taste experience for consumers.

Health notes

In the US, flavorings like aromas are regulated by the FDA. Many are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or are approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence generally shows that aromas are safe when consumed at typical levels found in food. Some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to specific flavoring compounds.

Allergen info

Aromas are not typically considered major allergens unless they are derived from one of the nine major allergens (e.g., an aroma derived from milk). Gluten is not typically associated with aromas unless specifically stated.
