Role in food

What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures of aromatic compounds derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, or even smoke. Smoke flavorings are specifically created by burning wood or other natural materials and capturing the resulting smoke. These captured compounds are then processed to create concentrated flavorings.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural flavors, including smoke, to enhance or impart specific tastes and aromas in food products. They are commonly used in savory items like barbecue sauces, processed meats, snacks, and marinades to provide a smoky or grilled character.

Health notes

In the U.S., natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various natural flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific components within natural flavor mixtures.

Allergen info

Natural flavors are not considered one of the FDA's major food allergens. Gluten is also not typically associated with natural flavors unless a specific source ingredient containing gluten is used in their production.
