What it is

Peanut butter flavor is a flavoring agent designed to mimic the taste and aroma of peanut butter. It can be derived from natural sources like roasted peanuts or created synthetically using various chemical compounds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use peanut butter flavor to impart a peanut butter taste to foods without using actual peanuts. It is commonly found in ice cream, cookies, baked goods, snacks, and confectionery.

Health notes

Peanut butter 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. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety.

Allergen info

If derived from peanuts, it is considered a major allergen. If created synthetically or from non-peanut sources, it is not a major allergen. Always check the product label for specific allergen information.
