What it is

Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are digested differently than other fats. They are typically derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil through a process called fractionation. Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, and other edible plant materials.

Why it's used

MCTs are often used as a fat source in foods, particularly in products marketed for energy or sports nutrition. Natural flavors are used to add or enhance taste and aroma in a wide variety of food products, from confectionery to baked goods.

Health notes

Medium chain triglycerides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of calories and are metabolized differently than long-chain fats. Natural flavors are also generally recognized as safe by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavorings and fats, and their use in foods is subject to safety assessments.

Allergen info

Medium chain triglycerides are not derived from major allergens. Natural flavors are complex and their allergen status depends on the specific source materials used, but they are not inherently one of the major allergens themselves.
