What it is
Natural and artificial fruit flavors are complex mixtures of chemicals that provide taste and aroma to foods. Natural flavors are derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, or spices through physical, enzymatic, or microbiological processes. Artificial flavors are synthesized chemicals that mimic natural flavors but are not derived from natural sources.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use these flavors to enhance or impart specific fruit tastes and smells in a wide variety of products. They are commonly found in beverages, baked goods, candies, dairy products, and processed snacks.
Health notes
In the U.S., both natural and artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA. Generally, they are considered safe when consumed in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many flavor compounds. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, some individuals may experience sensitivities to specific flavor compounds.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, some natural flavors may be derived from sources that contain allergens, so individuals with severe allergies should check product labels.
