The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Dr Pop delivers a classic spiced-cola profile: cola syrup, cherry/vanilla and a gentle almond/herbal note for depth and soda pop. Great for soda, floats and fruit fizzes. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol. Note: We purchase in bulk and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original packaging).
