What it is
Mozzarella flavor is a compound or blend of compounds that mimics the taste and aroma of mozzarella cheese. It is typically made using a combination of natural and artificial flavoring substances, often including dairy-derived components or their synthetic equivalents.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use mozzarella flavor to impart a cheesy taste to foods without using actual cheese, which can help reduce costs or meet specific dietary needs. It is commonly found in processed foods like frozen dinners, cheese-flavored snacks, dips, and vegetarian or vegan alternatives to cheese products.
Health notes
In the US, flavoring substances are regulated by the FDA. Many flavoring ingredients are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or are approved food additives. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluate flavorings for safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of foods containing approved flavorings.
Allergen info
Mozzarella flavor may be derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. If derived from milk, it would be considered a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
