Conference Session
What are grill flavors? Some consumers consider grill flavors to be synonymous with smoke. Yet many consider the high temperature dry cooking techniques used to produce smoky flavors unhealthy. This spring, the European Union banned certain grill flavors as a result of questions consumers had about the safety of the flavors used. What exactly are the EU concerns, and how do we address them to make safer flavors? This talk will cover how we can make safer flavors, how these flavors are best analyzed, the efforts made to reduce or prevent the formation of PHA’s, the regulatory and safety aspects of these flavors, and possible labelling challenges for natural and clean.
