What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures created from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, or animal products. They are often derived through processes such as extraction, distillation, or fermentation to capture specific taste and aroma compounds. These flavors are used to enhance or impart taste to foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural flavors to add or improve the taste and aroma of a wide variety of food products. They are commonly found in processed foods, including sauces, snacks, baked goods, and beverages, where they contribute to the overall sensory experience.

Health notes

In the U.S., natural flavors are regulated by the FDA and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, the specific components of natural flavors can vary widely, and research into their long-term health effects is ongoing.

Allergen info

Natural flavors are not one of the nine major allergens. However, if derived from a major allergen source (like milk or soy), that source must be declared separately on the ingredient list.
