What it is
Sugar and natural flavoring refers to a combination of sugar, typically sucrose derived from sugarcane or sugar beets, and flavorings from natural sources. Natural flavorings are complex mixtures of substances obtained from ingredients like spices, fruits, vegetables, or herbs, primarily added to food for taste rather than nutrition.
Why it's used
This combination is widely used to impart sweetness and specific flavors to a variety of food products. It helps enhance the overall taste profile of items such as pasta sauces, baked goods, and beverages. Sugar also contributes to food texture and can act as a preservative.
Health notes
Sugars are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal, as excessive intake can be a concern. Natural flavorings are also considered safe by the FDA when used as intended. JECFA has evaluated many individual flavor compounds, and sugars are fundamental nutrients.
Allergen info
Neither sugar nor the general category of natural flavoring is considered a major allergen. However, specific natural flavorings can be derived from sources that are major allergens, which would be declared separately on food labels if present.
