What it is

Natural truffle flavor is a flavoring substance made from the aromatic compounds found in truffles, which are a type of fungus. These compounds are extracted and concentrated to create a flavoring that mimics the distinct, earthy, and pungent aroma of real truffles.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural truffle flavor to impart a truffle taste and aroma to foods without using expensive fresh truffles. It is commonly found in savory products like sauces, oils, pasta dishes, snacks, and condiments.

Health notes

Natural truffle flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flavoring substances, and they are permitted for use in foods. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Natural truffle flavor is not derived from any of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
