The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Rice Crunchies delivers a classic breakfast-cereal vibe: puffed rice, toasted grain and a soft sweet, milky backdrop that builds cereal milk, cookie crumbs and crusts in dessert mixes. 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).
