What it is

Hazelnut flavor is an artificial or natural flavoring designed to mimic the taste and aroma of hazelnuts. It can be created using various chemical compounds, either derived from natural sources like hazelnuts themselves or synthesized in a lab. These flavors are used to impart a hazelnut taste without using the actual nut.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hazelnut flavor to foods to provide a distinct hazelnut taste and aroma. It is commonly found in confectionery items, baked goods, dairy products, and beverages where a hazelnut profile is desired.

Health notes

Hazelnut flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'hazelnut flavor' as a general category are not always detailed. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use.

Allergen info

Hazelnut flavor is not derived from tree nuts unless specifically stated on the label. Therefore, it is not considered a major allergen in itself. Gluten is not typically present.
