Natural & Artificial Strawberry Flavor

Natural and artificial strawberry flavors are complex mixtures of compounds that mimic the taste and aroma of strawberries. Natural flavors are derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, or spices through physical, enzymatic, or microbiological processes. Artificial flavors are synthesized from chemical compounds not found in nature.

These flavors are added to foods to provide or enhance a strawberry taste and aroma. They are commonly found in a wide range of products, including baked goods, candies, beverages, dairy products, and desserts.

Flavoring substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavoring compounds. Evidence for widespread health concerns at typical intake levels is limited.
