Natural Vanilla With Other Natural Flavors

This ingredient is a flavoring agent that includes vanilla extract along with other natural flavorings. Natural flavors are derived from natural sources like plants or animals through processes such as heating, fermentation, or enzymatic action. The specific combination aims to create a distinct vanilla-like taste profile.

Manufacturers use this blend to impart a vanilla flavor to a wide range of food products. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, dairy and non-dairy frozen desserts such as ice cream, and plant-based beverages.

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural flavor components. At typical consumption levels, these ingredients are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence regarding the health impacts of specific natural flavor blends is generally limited, as they are complex mixtures.
