What it is
Smoke flavoring is a liquid or powder made by burning wood chips or other natural materials. The smoke is then captured and condensed, often filtered to remove unwanted compounds. This process creates a concentrated flavor that mimics the taste of food cooked over a fire.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add smoke flavoring to provide a smoky taste and aroma to foods without traditional smoking methods. It is commonly found in processed meats like bacon and sausages, as well as in snacks, sauces, and some cheeses.
Health notes
Smoke flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated smoke and smoke components, noting that some compounds found in smoke can be harmful at high levels. However, the levels present in smoke flavorings used in food are typically very low and considered safe for consumption.
Allergen info
Smoke flavoring is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
