Synthetic Flavorings
Synthetic flavorings are artificially created substances designed to mimic natural flavors found in fruits, herbs, and spices. They are produced through chemical processes in laboratories, allowing manufacturers to replicate specific taste profiles consistently and cost-effectively. These flavorings are FDA-approved and widely used in processed foods, beverages, and confections to enhance or replicate flavors without relying solely on natural ingredients. While they are considered safe when used within regulatory limits, some people prefer to avoid synthetic flavorings due to personal taste or dietary choices.
