Natural Smoke Flavor
What is Natural Smoke Flavor?
Natural Smoke Flavor is derived from the vapor produced when wood is burned. The smoke is collected and condensed into a liquid form, which can then be used as a flavoring in various foods.
It is used to impart a smoky taste to products without using an actual smoking process, which can be more time-consuming and costly. The available health evidence does not indicate significant concerns for consumers, though some prefer to avoid artificial processes in their foods.
When you see it on a label, it often signifies an effort to add complexity to the flavor profile of processed foods like sauces, meats, and snacks.
Commonly found in: sauces, processed meats, snacks, cheese, barbecue items
Natural Smoke Flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Research shows that it is a safe flavoring with no major health risks documented.
Natural Smoke Flavor is typically made from plant-based sources and is considered vegan.
