What it is

Artificial flavors are compounds that mimic natural flavors but are synthesized in a lab. They are created by food chemists who select specific chemical compounds to replicate the taste and smell of natural ingredients like fruits, spices, or savory items.

Why it's used

Artificial flavors are used to enhance or impart specific tastes to food products, especially when natural flavors are too expensive, unstable, or unavailable. They are commonly found in candies, baked goods, beverages, and snack foods.

Health notes

Artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA as food additives. Many artificial flavors are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or have been approved by the FDA for use in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavor compounds. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may report sensitivities to artificial flavors.

Allergen info

Artificial flavors are not derived from any of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
