Introduction to Flavours/Flavouring Substances What are Flavours/Flavouring substances? Flavours/Flavouring substances are used to improve or modify the odour and/or taste of food for customer benefits. The usage of unique flavour is to create a unique product. Understanding the label classification can help to choose the flavour that is suitable for health concerning people and the requirement in each religion. Flavouring substances and their preparations should be labelled in compliance with the EC Regulation No. 1334/2008 only.• Labelling as “natural X1 flavouring” with reference to the name of the source may only be used if the flavouring component has been obtained exclusively or by at least 95% (w/w) from the cited source, the other maximum 5% (w/w) must also be natural. • Labelling as “natural X1 flavouring with other natural flavourings” may only be used when the flavouring component has been partially derived from the cited source and the flavour of the source is easily recognizable. • Labelling as “natural flavouring” without reference to the name of the source may only be used when a flavour is derived from different source materials and a reference to the source materials would not reflect their flavour or taste. • Labelling as “natural flavouring substance(s)” may only be used for flavourings where the flavouring part contains exclusively natural flavouring substances. • Smoke flavourings added to impart smoky flavour to the food must appear in the list of ingredients, either as “smoke flavouring(s)” or with a reference to the source (wood) used for its production.
