What it is
N&a Flavors is a broad category that includes natural and artificial flavoring substances. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources, while artificial flavors are synthesized compounds. These substances are used to impart specific tastes and aromas to food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use N&a Flavors to enhance or create desired taste profiles in a wide range of foods. They are commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in sauces such as ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. These ingredients help make products more appealing to consumers.
Health notes
Flavoring substances are regulated by the FDA. Many flavoring ingredients are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to certain artificial flavors. Research into the long-term effects of complex flavor mixtures is ongoing.
Allergen info
N&a Flavors are not typically derived from the major allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame). Gluten is also not typically associated with these flavorings. Therefore, it is not considered a major allergen.
