What it is

Natural custard flavor is a flavoring substance derived from natural sources, such as milk, eggs, and vanilla. It is created by combining various natural extracts and essences to mimic the taste and aroma of traditional custard.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural custard flavor to impart a rich, creamy, and sweet taste to a variety of food products. It is frequently found in dairy-based desserts like ice cream, yogurt, and puddings, as well as baked goods and beverages.

Health notes

Natural custard flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavoring substances, and while they do not typically set specific ADIs for natural flavors, they are considered safe at levels used in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming natural custard flavor at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Natural custard flavor may be derived from milk or eggs, which are among the FDA's major allergens. Consumers with allergies to milk or eggs should check product labels carefully.
