So, what is artificial vanilla flavor?

Artificial vanilla flavor is a synthetic compound used to mimic the taste and aroma of natural vanilla. It is typically derived from petroleum or coal tar and is created by mixing various chemicals together. While it is not derived from natural sources, artificial vanilla flavor is commonly used in many food products, such as ice cream, baked goods, and beverages, due to its lower cost and consistency. However, some people prefer natural vanilla flavor due to its richer and more complex taste. Additionally, artificial vanilla flavor may not be suitable for those with certain dietary restrictions or allergies.
