What it is

Artificial mustard flavor is a blend of chemicals designed to mimic the taste and aroma of natural mustard. It is created in a lab using various synthetic compounds, often including compounds that produce pungent, spicy, or savory notes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use artificial mustard flavor to add a distinct mustard taste to foods without using actual mustard. It is commonly found in processed meats, sauces, salad dressings, snacks, and frozen appetizers.

Health notes

Artificial mustard flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavoring substances, and they are permitted for use in foods. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels of artificial flavors.

Allergen info

Artificial mustard flavor is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
