What it is
Natural vanilla flavor comes from vanilla beans, which are the fruit of a tropical orchid. The beans are cured and processed to extract their characteristic flavor compounds, primarily vanillin. This process can involve fermentation, drying, and extraction with alcohol or other solvents.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add natural vanilla flavor to provide a sweet, floral, and rich taste. It is one of the most popular flavors worldwide and is used in a wide variety of foods, especially baked goods, dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, beverages, and confectionery.
Health notes
Natural vanilla extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vanillin and other components of vanilla flavor. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Research into the potential antioxidant properties of compounds found in vanilla is ongoing.
Allergen info
Natural vanilla flavor is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
