What it is
Artificially flavored fruit lollipops are candies that use synthetic flavorings to mimic fruit tastes. These flavorings are created in a lab to replicate the smell and taste of fruits like strawberry, cherry, or watermelon.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use artificial flavors to provide consistent and often more intense fruit tastes in candies and other sweets. They are added to lollipops, gummies, and other confectionery products to enhance their appeal and flavor profile.
Health notes
Artificial flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many artificial flavorings. While generally considered safe in the amounts found in food, some individuals may report sensitivities to artificial ingredients.
Allergen info
Artificial flavors are not derived from major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
