Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association

The Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) is a trade organization representing companies that produce flavors used in foods and beverages. Its primary role is to evaluate and ensure the safety of flavor ingredients through scientific research and risk assessments. FEMA also works with regulatory agencies to set standards, promote transparency, and foster responsible manufacturing practices. Essentially, it helps maintain high safety and quality standards in the flavors that enhance many of the foods and drinks we consume daily.
