Natural Mango Flavor

Natural mango flavor is a flavoring substance derived from natural sources, such as mango fruit or parts of the mango plant. It is created through processes like extraction, distillation, or fermentation to capture the aromatic compounds that give mango its characteristic taste and smell.

Manufacturers add natural mango flavor to foods and beverages to impart or enhance a mango taste. It is commonly found in fruit juices, smoothies, ice cream, yogurt, candies, and baked goods where a distinct fruity profile is desired.

In the US, natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, and natural flavors are typically considered safe at the levels used in food. There are no widespread health controversies associated with natural mango flavor when consumed in typical amounts.
