What it is
Natural and artificial maple flavor are mixtures of compounds that mimic the taste and aroma of maple syrup. Natural flavors are derived from natural sources like maple sap, while artificial flavors are created synthetically in a lab. Both types often contain a blend of chemicals, including vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and various esters and lactones.
Why it's used
These flavors are added to foods to provide a maple taste without using expensive maple syrup. They are commonly found in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and donuts, as well as in syrups, breakfast cereals, and candies.
Health notes
In the US, both natural and artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA. Most flavoring substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these flavors at typical levels found in food.
Allergen info
Maple flavorings are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
