What it is
Flavoring substances are ingredients that add or enhance taste and aroma in food. They can be derived from natural sources like plants and animals, or created synthetically in a lab. The specific origin and production method depend on the individual flavoring compound.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use flavoring substances to make foods more appealing by adding or intensifying specific tastes and smells. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including baked goods, dairy products, and savory items, to create desired flavor profiles.
Health notes
Flavoring substances are regulated by the FDA, with many considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or approved as food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavorings. While generally safe at typical consumption levels, the safety of some artificial flavorings has been debated, though scientific consensus supports their safety when used as intended.
Allergen info
Flavoring substances are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, specific flavorings could potentially contain or be derived from allergens, which would need to be declared on the product label. Not a major allergen.
