What it is
Natural and artificial flavors are substances added to food to impart or enhance taste and aroma. Natural flavors are derived from plant or animal sources, while artificial flavors are synthesized in a lab. Both are complex mixtures of chemical compounds.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add flavors to make foods more appealing by mimicking or intensifying desirable tastes and smells. They are used in a wide variety of processed foods, including baked goods, candies, snacks, beverages, and dairy products.
Health notes
In the U.S., flavoring substances are regulated by the FDA. Many are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or are approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some people may have sensitivities to certain flavor compounds. Research on the long-term health effects of consuming complex mixtures of artificial flavors is ongoing.
Allergen info
Flavorings are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, if a natural flavor is derived from a source that is a major allergen (like milk or soy), that source must be declared on the ingredient list. Gluten is not typically found in flavorings.
