Strawberry Flavor With Other Natural Flavors

This ingredient is a blend of natural substances that mimic the taste and aroma of strawberries. It is created by combining various natural flavor compounds derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, and spices, often through processes like extraction or distillation.

Manufacturers use this blend to impart a strawberry flavor to a wide range of products without using actual strawberries. It is commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, as well as in candies, baked goods, and beverages.

In the U.S., flavorings like this are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many natural flavor components. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific components within complex flavor blends.
