What it is
Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and other plant materials. They are created through physical, enzymatic, or microbiological processes. These flavors are intended to taste like the original source material.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use natural flavors to add or enhance taste in a wide variety of foods. They are common in processed foods like snacks, beverages, dairy products, and baked goods, aiming to provide specific or desirable flavor profiles.
Health notes
The FDA generally recognizes natural flavors as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many flavor ingredients. While generally considered safe in the amounts used in food, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavor compounds.
Allergen info
Natural flavors are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, they can sometimes be derived from sources that are major allergens, so individuals with severe allergies should check product labels for specific allergen warnings.
