What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures of aromatic compounds derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, or yeast. Yeast extract is made by breaking open yeast cells, releasing their contents which are then concentrated. The combination aims to create a savory, umami taste.

Why it's used

This blend is used to enhance or impart savory, meaty, or umami flavors in foods. It is often found in processed foods like pasta dishes, rice mixes, soups, sauces, and vegetarian meat alternatives.

Health notes

Natural flavors and yeast extract are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavorings. While generally considered safe, some individuals may be sensitive to certain components of natural flavorings. Evidence does not link typical consumption to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Yeast extract is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless the yeast was grown on a gluten-containing substrate, which is uncommon.
