What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures of aromatic chemicals derived from natural sources like plants or animals. They are created through physical processes such as heating or fermentation, or by enzymatic or microbial treatment. The goal is to isolate or create specific flavor compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural flavors to enhance or impart specific tastes in foods. They are found in a wide variety of products, including baked goods, beverages, dairy products, and savory items, to create desirable flavor profiles.

Health notes

In the U.S., natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated flavorings. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to specific components within natural flavor mixtures.

Allergen info

Natural flavors are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten unless a gluten-containing ingredient is specifically listed.
