What it is

Natural smoke is a gas produced by burning wood. It is captured and condensed into a liquid or powder form for use in food. This process imparts a smoky flavor and aroma without direct exposure to smoke.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural smoke to add a smoky flavor and aroma to foods like cheese, meats, and fish. It can also be used to enhance the taste of snacks and sauces. It functions primarily as a flavor ingredient.

Health notes

Natural smoke is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. It is considered safe at typical consumption levels. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated smoke flavorings, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also reviewed their safety. While some studies have raised questions about compounds found in smoke, regulatory bodies have deemed them safe for use as flavoring agents when produced according to standards.

Allergen info

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