What it is

Brown sugar smoke flavoring is a liquid or powder made by condensing the smoke from burning hardwoods like hickory or mesquite. The smoke is then processed to remove tar and other undesirable compounds, leaving behind the desired smoky aroma and flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add brown sugar smoke flavoring to provide a smoky taste and aroma to foods without actual smoking. It is commonly used in processed meats, snacks, sauces, and marinades to enhance flavor.

Health notes

In the US, brown sugar smoke flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated smoke flavorings and established guidelines for their use. While some studies have raised concerns about certain compounds found in smoke, the levels present in approved smoke flavorings are considered safe for consumption.

Allergen info

Brown sugar smoke flavoring is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
