Factors affecting the costs of Natural Ingredients for Flavours
In 2008, the European Parliament introduced Regulation EC 1334/2008 covering flavourings and certain ingredients with flavouring properties. This was intended to satisfy consumer groups and make the content of flavours easier to understand. This legislation removed the definition of artificial as well as the designation of “Nature Identical” available since 1988 but did redefine the requirements for natural status in flavourings.

When we talk about natural flavourings, all have been derived from a botanical or microbiological source…just like our beer.
