Role in food

Manufacturers use flavors and artificial flavors to enhance the taste and aroma of foods. …

What it is

Flavors are substances added to food to impart or modify taste and smell. Artificial flavors are synthesized in a lab and mimic natural flavors. They can be derived from natural sources or created from chemicals.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use flavors and artificial flavors to enhance the taste and aroma of foods. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including snacks, beverages, baked goods, and frozen meals, to make them more appealing to consumers.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes flavors and artificial flavors as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated many flavorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific artificial flavor compounds. Research continues to explore the long-term health effects of consuming a wide array of artificial ingredients.

Allergen info

Flavors and artificial flavors are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, specific flavor compounds could potentially be derived from or contain allergens, so checking the product label for specific allergen warnings is always recommended.
