Last updated: August 2026 dataEstablishments classified under NAICS 311930 produce a wide range of flavoring extracts — vanilla, almond, citrus, and proprietary blends — as well as sweetened syrups for use in beverages, baked goods, and confections. FDA regulates these products under its food additive and GRAS frameworks, and FSMA's Preventive Controls rule requires hazard analysis at both domestic and foreign manufacturing sites. Vanilla extract, one of the most widely traded items in this category, carries specific FDA standards of identity governing alcohol content and vanilla bean concentration.

FDA's standard of identity under 21 CFR 169.175 requires that pure vanilla extract contain a minimum concentration of vanilla bean extractives and a specified alcohol content. Products that do not meet this standard cannot be labeled as 'vanilla extract' and must instead be labeled as 'imitation vanilla' or 'vanilla flavor,' which affects both customs classification and retail labeling compliance.
NAICS 311930 focuses on flavoring syrups rather than bulk commodity sweeteners. High-fructose corn syrup and similar bulk sweeteners are generally classified under wet corn milling (NAICS 311221) rather than flavoring extracts and syrups.
