What it is

Fruit and spice extracts are concentrated flavorings derived from natural sources like fruits, herbs, and spices. They are produced by methods such as solvent extraction, steam distillation, or pressing to capture the aromatic compounds and taste profiles of the original plant materials.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use these extracts to add or enhance specific flavors in a wide variety of foods without adding bulk. They are commonly found in baked goods, beverages, confectionery, dairy products, and savory dishes like sauces and processed meats.

Health notes

In the US, fruit and spice extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose as flavoring agents. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many natural flavorings. Evidence generally supports their safety at typical consumption levels. There are no widespread controversies associated with their use.

Allergen info

Fruit and spice extracts are not derived from major allergens. However, if an extract is made using a solvent that is a major allergen (e.g., ethanol from wheat), or if it is processed in a facility that handles allergens, cross-contamination could be a concern. Always check product labels for specific allergen warnings.
