Natural Plum Flavor

Natural plum flavor is a flavoring substance derived from natural sources, such as plum fruit or parts of the plum plant. It is created through processes like extraction or distillation to capture the characteristic aroma and taste of plums.

Manufacturers add natural plum flavor to impart a plum taste and aroma to a variety of food products. It is commonly found in beverages, yogurt, candy, and baked goods to enhance their flavor profile.

Natural plum flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavoring substances, and such evaluations typically conclude they are safe at levels used in food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming natural plum flavor at typical dietary levels.
