Used To Protect Quality Natural Flavor

Natural flavors are complex mixtures derived from natural sources like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, or animal products. They are created by extracting or processing these natural materials to capture their aromatic and taste qualities. The exact composition is proprietary and varies by manufacturer.

Natural flavors are used to enhance or impart specific tastes and aromas in a wide variety of foods and beverages. They are commonly found in processed foods such as snacks, baked goods, dairy products, and beverages. Their purpose is to create a desirable flavor profile for consumers.

Natural flavors are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many flavor compounds, generally finding them safe at typical consumption levels. While considered safe, the complexity of natural flavors means individual sensitivities are possible, though not common.
