      There are many chemicals that add colour and flavour to food. The ice cream makers may use a large variety of them to enhance the flavours. These chemicals are tested to be safe for human consumption. You have to keep in mind that chemicals are in everything – we are made of chemicals that are arranged into cells. A lot of the flavouring chemicals fall into the categories of ‘alcohols’ or ‘esters’.
