What it is

Hickory smoke flavoring is a liquid or powder that adds a smoky taste to foods without actual smoking. It is made by burning hickory wood and capturing the smoke, then condensing it into a liquid or drying it into a powder. This process allows for a consistent smoky flavor that is easier to control than traditional smoking methods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use hickory smoke flavoring to impart a desirable smoky taste and aroma to a wide variety of products. It is commonly found in processed meats like jerky and bacon, as well as in snacks, sauces, and cheeses where a smoky profile is desired.

Health notes

Hickory smoke flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated smoke flavorings, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed them. While some studies have looked into compounds found in smoke, the levels present in foods using approved flavorings are typically very low and not considered a health concern at normal consumption levels.

Allergen info

Hickory smoke flavoring is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens and does not contain gluten.
