Natural Pineapple Flavor

Natural pineapple flavor refers to flavor compounds derived from pineapples or created from other plant or animal sources to mimic pineapple's taste. While labeled 'natural,' such flavors are often obtained through extraction, concentration, or enzymatic processes, and may contain carrier solvents, emulsifiers, or preservatives. The FDA generally recognizes natural flavors as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), but the exact composition is not required to be disclosed, leading to potential transparency concerns.
