What it is

Naturally essenced products use flavorings derived from natural sources, such as fruits, vegetables, or spices. These essences capture the aroma and taste of the original source material. They are created through processes like distillation or pressing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add natural essences to provide or enhance flavor in foods and beverages. They are commonly found in sparkling waters, teas, baked goods, and dairy products. These essences help create a more authentic and appealing taste profile without artificial ingredients.

Health notes

Natural essences are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many natural flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods with natural essences at typical levels.

Allergen info

Natural essences are not derived from major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless the essence is derived from a gluten-containing source, which is uncommon.
