What it is

Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, or animal products. They are created through physical, enzymatic, or microbiological processes, and are intended to add or enhance taste and aroma in food products. The exact composition is proprietary and varies by manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use natural flavors to impart specific tastes and aromas, making foods more appealing. They are found in a wide variety of products, including beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats, where they contribute to the overall flavor profile.

Health notes

In the U.S., natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for 'natural flavors' as a broad category are complex due to their varied composition. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Research into the long-term effects of consuming complex flavor mixtures is ongoing.

Allergen info

Natural flavors can sometimes be derived from major allergens like milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. Manufacturers must declare the specific source if it is one of the major allergens. Gluten is not typically a component unless derived from wheat.
