What it is
Natural smoke flavor is a liquid or powder made by burning wood chips and condensing the smoke. The process aims to capture the aroma and taste of traditional smoking without directly applying smoke to food. It is often used to impart a smoky flavor to foods that are not actually smoked.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add natural smoke flavor to provide a smoky taste and aroma, often acting as a flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in processed meats like sausages and bacon, as well as in snacks, sauces, and cheeses.
Health notes
Natural smoke flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated smoke flavorings. While traditional smoking can produce compounds of concern, the manufacturing process for natural smoke flavors aims to reduce these. Evidence regarding long-term health effects at typical consumption levels is limited, but it is not considered a significant risk by regulatory agencies.
Allergen info
Natural smoke flavor is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
