Natural And Artificial Flavors Soy Lecithin

Natural and artificial flavors are complex mixtures that give food its taste and aroma. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources, while artificial flavors are synthesized from chemicals. The exact composition is usually proprietary.

Manufacturers use natural and artificial flavors to enhance or impart specific tastes and smells to foods. They are found in a wide variety of products, including baked goods, candies, beverages, and dairy products.

Natural and artificial flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may experience sensitivities to certain flavor compounds. Extensive scientific research has not linked typical consumption of natural and artificial flavors to adverse health effects.
