This ingredient is a flavoring agent that mimics the taste of strawberries. It is made using natural sources, which can include fruit extracts, essential oils, and other plant-derived materials. These natural components are combined to create a specific flavor profile.

Manufacturers use this ingredient to impart a strawberry flavor to a wide range of food products. It is commonly found in beverages like soda, as well as in baked goods such as cake mixes, cookies, cupcakes, and snack cakes.

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are complex mixtures, and their safety is assessed based on the individual components.

While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, the specific components can vary, and some individuals may have sensitivities.
