Your label says there is alcohol in your liquid extract flavourings; how much and why?Updated 8 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
