synthetic flavors

Synthetic flavors are lab-created substances designed to mimic natural tastes. They are made using advanced chemical processes to replicate the aroma and flavor of fruits, spices, or other foods, often at a lower cost and with greater consistency. These flavors are common in processed foods, candies, beverages, and baked goods. Unlike natural flavors derived directly from the original ingredients, synthetic flavors are entirely man-made, but they are carefully developed and approved for consumer use. They help enhance or standardize flavor profiles, ensuring the product tastes as expected regardless of seasonality or ingredient quality.
