Several health organizations and food safety associations are prohibiting the usage of various artificial flavorings in food & beverages. For instance, on October 5th, 2018, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned seven synthetic flavorings that are associated with cancer. FDA stated to use the naturally extracted counterparts of the banned flavors as they are a safer option. Previously, FDA banned eight synthetic flavorings, which were found in ice creams, baked goods, candy, and beverages. These substances used in flavorings had been known to cause cancer in humans.
