What it is

Tomato flavor is a flavoring substance that mimics the taste of tomatoes. It can be derived from natural sources like tomato products or created synthetically. The exact composition varies depending on the specific product and manufacturer.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use tomato flavor to enhance or impart a tomato taste in foods where fresh tomatoes are not used or where a more consistent flavor is desired. It is commonly found in sauces, processed meats, snacks, and condiments.

Health notes

In the US, tomato flavorings are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for all "tomato flavors" as a broad category may not be publicly detailed. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Tomato flavor is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
