Tag: Synthetic flavours

According to a 2023 review published in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the use of artificial flavouring and taste enhancers can lead to long-term health issues, including neurological problems, cancers, and hypersensitivity. These chemically synthesized compounds are designed to mimic natural flavours, but their potential impact on human health is a growing concern for many consumers.

According to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, nature-identical flavouring substances are defined as those chemically identical to substances found naturally in food. A prime example of a natural identical flavouring substance is vanillin, the primary aromatic compound responsible for vanilla's distinct taste and aroma.
