Health notes
Drizzle itself is not a regulated food additive but rather a descriptor of how a food component is applied. The health implications depend entirely on the ingredients used in the drizzle. For example, a sugar-based drizzle would contribute to added sugar intake, while a chocolate drizzle would contribute fat and sugar. Regulatory bodies like the FDA evaluate individual ingredients, not application methods.
