Contains Less Than 1 Percent Of: Artificial Flavors

Artificial flavors are compounds created in a lab to mimic natural flavors. They are made using a variety of chemical substances, including components derived from natural sources, to create specific taste profiles. These flavors are designed to enhance or replicate the taste of fruits, spices, or other ingredients.

Manufacturers add artificial flavors to foods to provide or enhance taste and aroma, making products more appealing to consumers. They are commonly found in processed foods such as candies, baked goods, beverages, and dairy products like puddings and custards.

Artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. The FDA has not set specific limits for their use, and they are not subject to the same rigorous testing as some other food additives. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience sensitivities. JECFA has evaluated artificial flavors, but does not set numerical limits for them.
