Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association
FEMA provides identifiers for flavor ingredients deemed safe for food use. These entities include chemical compounds and natural substances used as flavoring agents, each reviewed by the FEMA Expert Panel for GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. The identifiers link to safety data and regulatory assessments, including evaluations by the U.S. FDA and, where applicable, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).
