What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, and other plant or animal materials. They are created through physical, enzymatic, or microbiological processes and are intended to impart specific tastes or aromas to food.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural flavors to enhance or create desirable tastes and smells in a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in beverages, dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated many flavorings. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavor compounds. The scientific consensus is that natural flavors are safe at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Natural flavors are not a major allergen. However, if derived from a major allergen source (like milk or soy), that source must be declared separately on the ingredient list.
