What it is

Natural flavor blends are mixtures of aromatic compounds derived from natural sources like plants or animals. These compounds are extracted using methods such as distillation, extraction, or enzymatic processes. The final blend is designed to impart specific tastes and aromas to food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural flavor blends to enhance or create desirable tastes and smells in foods. They are commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in dairy products such as butter and cream cheese spreads. These blends help provide a consistent and appealing flavor profile.

Health notes

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual flavor compounds, often establishing acceptable intake levels. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific components within a blend. Research into the long-term health effects of complex flavor mixtures is ongoing.

Allergen info

Natural flavor blends are not typically derived from the major allergens listed by the FDA. However, the specific source ingredients used to create the blend are not always disclosed, so it's possible for them to contain or be cross-contaminated with allergens. Gluten is not typically associated with natural flavors unless a specific gluten-containing ingredient is used in the blend.
