Solvay has announced that its Rhovanil US NAT natural vanillin ingredient has received GRAS approval from the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States (FEMA).
Rhovanil US NAT was developed to meet rising consumer demands for true-to-nature products. The GRAS status means that it is recognized as a safe flavor ingredient in a variety of food categories and applications—such as chocolate, confectionery, bakery and beverages—in the U.S. and countries where U.S. regulation applies.
