What it is

Natural Parmesan Cheese Flavor is a flavoring substance designed to mimic the taste of real Parmesan cheese. It is typically created by combining various natural flavoring compounds, often derived from milk, cheese, or other food ingredients, through processes like fermentation or enzymatic treatment.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural Parmesan cheese flavor to impart a savory, cheesy taste to foods without using actual cheese. It is commonly found in pasta dishes, frozen meals, salad dressings, snacks, and sauces where a distinct Parmesan profile is desired.

Health notes

In the U.S., flavoring substances like this are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the FDA oversee the safety of food ingredients. International organizations such as JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) have evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels of natural flavors.

Allergen info

Natural Parmesan Cheese Flavor may be derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens. Consumers with milk allergies should check product labels carefully.
