What it is

Natural smoke flavor is a liquid flavoring made from the smoke of burning hardwoods like hickory or mesquite. The smoke is condensed and filtered to capture the desired aroma and taste compounds. It is used to impart a smoky flavor to foods without the need for traditional smoking methods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural smoke flavor to provide a smoky taste and aroma to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in processed meats, cheeses, snacks, sauces, and vegetarian products seeking a 'grilled' or 'smoked' profile.

Health notes

In the U.S., natural smoke flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated smoke flavorings. While some studies have looked into compounds found in smoke, typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Natural smoke flavor is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
