What it is

Maple flavorings can be made from natural sources like maple sap or artificial chemicals. Natural maple flavor is extracted from maple trees, while artificial maple flavor is created in a lab to mimic the taste. Often, a combination of natural and artificial components is used to achieve a desired flavor profile and cost.

While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to artificial ingredients.
