Natural Blueberry Flavors

Natural blueberry flavors are derived from real blueberries. They are created by extracting flavor compounds from the fruit through processes like distillation or extraction, then concentrating these compounds.

Manufacturers add natural blueberry flavors to foods to impart or enhance a blueberry taste without adding the bulk of the fruit. They are commonly found in beverages like teas and flavored waters, as well as snacks like popcorn and nuts.

Natural blueberry flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
