What it is
A broad labelling category for substances or preparations added to impart or modify flavour; the exact substances covered by the term depend on the product and the applicable labelling rules.
Why BOTIA flags it
BOTIA flags the generic term because it may not disclose every individual flavouring substance or its source. For Muslim-choice analysis, the word flavourings alone is not enough to establish origin or religious status.
BOTIA CAN
- Identify generic flavourings or flavorings wording and trigger the flavour information layer.
- Flag source uncertainty for the Muslim layer when the label does not provide enough information about origin, carrier or relevant certification.
BOTIA CANNOT
- Identify every individual flavouring compound, carrier or processing aid hidden behind a permitted collective label term.
- Classify a generic flavouring as halal or haram without source, composition, certification or other reliable evidence.
