Health notes
In the U.S., both natural and artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA. Many flavor ingredients are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavor compounds. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may experience sensitivities to specific flavorings. Research continues to explore the long-term effects of consuming a wide range of artificial flavorings.
Allergen info
Flavors themselves are not typically major allergens. However, natural flavors can be derived from sources that are major allergens (e.g., milk, soy, wheat). Manufacturers must declare the source if it is a major allergen.
