about flavor standards

We produce encapsulated GMP (Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice) Flavour Standards that are safe to smell and taste.

GMP Pharma Flavour Standards

The compounds within our capsules impart the aroma, taste and mouthfeel of a specific defect or positive flavour into a beverage for taster training, calibration and quality control.

Our GMP Flavour Standards are sold by flavour, and each flavour pack contains 5 capsules, each individually blister packaged.

We ship globally, and have over 25 years of experience at it. As a result, our GMP Pharmaceutical Flavour Standards are produced to the highest standards, and as such, their shelf-life is strong and their quality consistent.

Shop from a range of GMP pharma flavour standards.

GMP Pharmaceutical Flavour Standards

Why we use blister packaging (and never pots)

Blister packaging protects capsules from the environment until they are ready for use. It greatly reduces the amount of headspace for possible flavour escape. As each capsule is individually blister packaged, making use of one capsule still leaves all others protected.

Pots are semi-porous, they allow molecules to pass through and flavour to be lost. Their significant headspace also adds to substantial flavour escape as a gas, even when using just one capsule, all those remaining in the pot are exposed.

Our GMP blister packaging is also 100% recyclable!

Our UK Flavour Centre

FlavorActiV’s GMP Flavour Centre is the world’s only pharmaceutically run facility dedicated to producing flavour reference standards. The Flavour Centre is a state-of-the-art facility housed within the campus of world-renowned Quay Pharma near Liverpool in the U.K.

The Flavour Centre was designed by FlavorActiV from the ground up at the direct request of global customers as they looked to move away from inferior food grade ‘certified flavour standards’ to GMP Pharma, a standard that ensures safe, stable, traceable, consistent and long shelf-life products.

All FlavorActiV’s industry-leading encapsulated Flavour Standards are manufactured following GMP at our Flavour Centre. All aspects of manufacture are overseen by Quay Pharma who are audited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory agency (MHRA). We also welcome customer audits.
