What it is
Artificial chocolate flavor is a blend of synthetic chemicals designed to mimic the taste of real chocolate. These compounds are created in a lab and do not contain any cocoa beans. The exact chemical composition can vary widely between manufacturers.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use artificial chocolate flavor to impart a chocolate taste to foods where real chocolate is too expensive, would alter the texture, or is not desired. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, as well as snacks such as popcorn, peanuts, and cereals.
Health notes
Artificial chocolate flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for complex artificial flavor blends are not always publicly detailed. At typical consumption levels, these flavors are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Artificial chocolate flavor is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens and does not contain gluten.
