I keep seeing this in the ingredients, what is it?

Also, ingredients with "natural flavors" should be avoided right?

I don't know exactly what it is. But I might be able to find out.

And natural flavours could be from any source. Contact the manufacturer to see if they're vegetarian.

I am guessing (just guessing) that it is starch that has been cooked in liquid to make it like a gel. (like you do when making a sauce). But I don't know.

And natural flavors depends on what it is. If it's in fruit juice, I doubt its beef tallow or something. If it's a dessert, it could be something from butter, eggs, etc.

What about the natural flavors in BBQ sauce or in onion rings? I am just getting kind of confused/overwhelmed with the "do's and don'ts" when it comes to ingredients.

i would think those would be the spices they use in bbq sauce

Most foods have a 1-800 number you can call and ask what the source is of the natural flavoring. I'vew done it for some gravy mix, it was easy.

You mau want to refer to some of the links on this thread.
