In the U.S., artificial flavors are regulated by the FDA. Many artificial flavors are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or are approved food additives. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated many artificial flavors. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities. Research on the long-term effects of consuming a wide variety of artificial flavors is ongoing.
