What it is

Milk flavor is a flavoring agent designed to mimic the taste of milk. It can be derived from natural sources like milk itself, or created using artificial compounds. Manufacturers use it to add or enhance a milky taste in food products.

Why it's used

Milk flavor is used to impart a creamy, milky taste to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and crackers, as well as in beverages, dairy alternatives, and confectionery. Its function is purely for taste enhancement.

Health notes

Milk flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'milk flavor' as a general category are not always detailed. At typical consumption levels, these flavors are not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding the use of milk flavoring in foods.

Allergen info

Milk flavorings may be derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. If derived from milk, it must be declared. It does not contain gluten.
