Natural Lemon And Lime Flavors

Natural lemon and lime flavors are derived from the essential oils and extracts of lemons and limes. These flavors capture the characteristic taste and aroma of these citrus fruits, often through processes like distillation or cold pressing.

Manufacturers add natural lemon and lime flavors to provide a fresh, citrusy taste to a wide range of products. They are commonly found in beverages like sodas and lemonades, as well as in candies, seasonings, marinades, and baked goods.

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest negative health impacts from natural flavors.
