What it is

Coffee flavor is a flavoring substance that mimics the taste and aroma of coffee. It can be derived from natural sources like coffee beans or created synthetically. The exact composition varies depending on the manufacturer and the desired flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add coffee flavor to foods to impart a coffee taste without using actual coffee. It is commonly found in ice cream, frozen yogurt, cookies, biscuits, and various beverages like milk drinks and coffee-flavored drinks.

Health notes

Coffee flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels, coffee flavors are not associated with adverse health effects. Research on the health impacts of specific synthetic flavor compounds is ongoing.

Allergen info

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