What it is
Organic Coconut Flavor is a flavoring agent made from organic coconut. It is created by extracting or synthesizing compounds that mimic the taste and aroma of coconut, often using natural or organic sources.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic coconut flavor to foods to impart a coconut taste and aroma without using actual coconut. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, beverages, and confectionery.
Health notes
Organic coconut flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food flavoring. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavoring substances. At typical consumption levels in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at levels normally found in food.
Allergen info
Coconut is not considered one of the 9 major allergens by the FDA. It is a tree nut, but it is not classified as such for allergen labeling purposes. Gluten is not present.
