Blueberry Flavouring
"Blueberry flavouring" is a generic, undefined umbrella covering both natural and artificial preparations whose specific composition is not disclosed on labels. Individual flavor components must comply with FDA flavor regulations or the EU Union list, but the broad category prevents per-ingredient assessment.
What it is
A flavoring preparation that imparts blueberry flavor, which may be natural (e.g., extracts of blueberry or other fruits) or artificial (synthetic flavor compounds), often with carriers and solvents.
Provides blueberry flavor in formulations where real fruit is impractical.
What regulators actually say
"The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice..."
"This Regulation lays down rules on flavourings and food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods."
