What it is

Artificial guava flavor is a blend of chemical compounds designed to mimic the taste and aroma of real guava fruit. These compounds can be synthesized in a lab or derived from natural sources, and are carefully combined to achieve a specific flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use artificial guava flavor to impart a guava taste to foods and beverages where real guava might be too expensive, unavailable, or inconsistent. It is commonly found in fruit drinks, puddings, yogurts, and candies.

Health notes

Artificial guava flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for complex artificial flavor blends may vary. At typical consumption levels, these flavors are not associated with adverse health effects. Research into the long-term effects of consuming artificial flavors is ongoing.

Allergen info

Artificial guava flavor is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
