What it is

Organic Cheese Flavor is a flavoring substance designed to mimic the taste of cheese. It is typically made using a combination of natural and organic ingredients, which may include dairy cultures, enzymes, and other natural flavor compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic cheese flavor to foods to impart a cheesy taste without using actual cheese. It is commonly found in snacks like popcorn and chips, as well as in soups and sauces.

Health notes

Organic Cheese Flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming these flavors at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Depending on the specific ingredients used, organic cheese flavor may be derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not inherently gluten-containing unless wheat-derived ingredients are used in its production.
