What it is
Natural flavors are complex mixtures of aromatic chemicals derived from natural sources like plants or animals. These sources are processed using methods such as distillation, extraction, or fermentation to isolate the desired flavor compounds. The resulting flavorings are then blended to create specific taste profiles.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use natural flavors to enhance or impart taste and aroma in a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, snacks, and beverages. Their purpose is to make food more appealing and palatable to consumers.
Health notes
In the U.S., natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural flavor compounds, often setting acceptable daily intakes. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to specific components within natural flavor blends.
Allergen info
Natural flavors are not typically considered major allergens on their own. However, they can sometimes be derived from or contain components of major allergens, such as milk, soy, or wheat. Consumers with specific allergies should check product labels for explicit allergen declarations.
