Less Than 2% Natural & Artificial Flavors

Natural and artificial flavors are complex mixtures of compounds used to impart specific tastes and aromas to foods. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources through processes like extraction or distillation. Artificial flavors are synthesized chemically and do not contain ingredients from natural sources.

Manufacturers add flavors to enhance or create specific taste profiles in a wide variety of processed foods and beverages. They are commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, candies, snacks, and beverages to provide desirable sensory experiences.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes flavors as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also evaluate flavorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities. There are no widespread health concerns associated with the typical use of natural and artificial flavors.
