What it is
Flavors are substances that give food its taste and smell. Natural flavors are derived from plants or animals. Artificial flavors are created in a lab using chemical compounds, often to mimic natural flavors.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add flavors to enhance or impart specific tastes to foods. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including baked goods, beverages, candies, and dairy products.
Health notes
In the U.S., both natural and artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA. Many flavoring substances are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavor compounds. Research on the long-term health effects of consuming a wide array of artificial flavors is ongoing.
Allergen info
Flavorings are not typically derived from the major allergens. However, if a flavor is derived from an allergen (e.g., natural flavor from nuts), it must be declared. Gluten is not typically associated with flavors unless specifically added.
