Strawberry Flavoring

Strawberry flavoring is a substance added to foods to give them the taste and aroma of strawberries. It can be derived from natural sources, such as strawberry fruit or plant parts, or created synthetically in a lab to mimic the natural flavor.

Manufacturers use strawberry flavoring to enhance or impart a strawberry taste to a wide variety of products. It is commonly found in candies, baked goods, beverages, dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, and snack items.

Strawberry flavoring is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated flavorings, and their use is permitted within specified limits. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels of strawberry flavoring.
