Health notes
Teriyaki flavor is a general term for a mix of flavoring ingredients. The FDA regulates these ingredients as "flavors," "natural flavors," or "artificial flavors," requiring them to be safe for their intended use. The specific components in a teriyaki flavor blend may be considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. There is no single "teriyaki flavor" that JECFA or EFSA would evaluate; instead, they assess individual flavor compounds.
Allergen info
Teriyaki flavor itself is a blend. If it is made with traditional ingredients like soy sauce, it may contain soy and wheat, which are major allergens. However, flavorings can be made without these allergens.
