The Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMAf)

The Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) is an industry organization representing companies that produce flavorings used in food and beverages. Its primary role is to ensure the safe use of flavor ingredients by evaluating their safety and providing scientific expertise. FEMA collaborates with regulatory agencies like the FDA to establish guidelines, maintain consumer safety, and promote transparency in flavor manufacturing. Essentially, FEMA acts as a bridge between flavor producers and regulators, helping to ensure that the flavors we enjoy are safe and properly regulated.
