What it is
Artificial vanilla flavor is a man-made substance designed to mimic the taste of natural vanilla extract. It is typically synthesized from chemicals like vanillin, which can be derived from sources such as wood pulp or petroleum, or produced through chemical reactions.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use artificial vanilla flavor to provide a consistent and cost-effective vanilla taste in a wide range of products. It is frequently found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as ice cream, candies, and beverages.
Health notes
Artificial vanilla flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities. Research into the long-term effects of consuming synthetic flavorings is ongoing.
Allergen info
Artificial vanilla flavor is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
