rumor has it that "artificial flavors" are stuff like "blue punch" or "tropical purple" but "natural flavors" are "berry mix" and "orange swirl". Basically, if the flavor tastes like something natural, then it has no "natural flavors".
- jfengel 4y agoThat's not true. The FDA's definition: The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=501.22 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfr...
- vba616 4y agoYeah, so the only possible loophole I can see is the definition of "flavor". Somehow, "sweet" must not legally be a flavor? Furthermore, reading your quoted definition closely, it seems to me that "artificial" vanilla made from wood pulp could be considered non-artificial, so why isn't it? Or is it?
