Your label says there is alcohol in your liquid extract flavourings; how much and why?Updated 10 months ago

Alcohol is used to extract the alcohol soluble compounds to make them bioavailable for the consumer. Without using alcohol in our extracts, you would only have the water-soluble compounds. The alcohol also acts as preservative.

As one serve is 2ml, there is 0.6ml of alcohol in one serve. This is the equivalent of drinking 12ml of a standard 5% alcohol beer or 5.2ml of a standard white wine restaurant glass size (150ml) of 11.5% of alcohol. This is a very small quantity of alcohol with no intoxicating effects. In Australia, one standard drink is equivalent to any drink containing 10 grams of alcohol.

1 serve of liquid extract flavourings is equivalent to 0.6ml alcohol = 0.4g of alcohol = 4% of a standard drink
