What it is

Artificial flavoring is a blend of chemical compounds made in laboratories to mimic the taste of natural flavors. Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a mineral compound harvested from evaporated seawater or mined from underground deposits.

Why it's used

Artificial flavoring is added to foods to create or boost specific tastes, commonly found in snacks, candies, and beverages. Salt is widely used to season foods, enhance existing flavors, and act as a preservative in a vast range of products, including processed snacks, baked goods, and prepared meals.

Health notes

The FDA regulates artificial flavors as approved food additives or as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). While some people report sensitivities, scientific evidence for widespread adverse effects at typical intake is mixed. Salt is considered GRAS by the FDA. High intake of sodium, a component of salt, is linked to high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart disease; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated many individual flavorings and has also evaluated sodium chloride, for which it did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified) because it is an essential nutrient.

Allergen info

Neither artificial flavoring nor salt is a major allergen.
