How to recognize it

Not almond flour or almond milk. Common pure extracts contain bitter-almond oil, water and alcohol.

In the kitchen

Used in small amounts to flavor biscuits, cakes and other sweets, including some Macau almond-biscuit recipes.

Formulas and allergen statements differ by product. Check the actual label for alcohol and nut-related ingredients; do not infer allergy suitability from the name or assume baking removes all alcohol.
