What is the difference between “natural flavors” and “natural & artificial flavors”?
“Natural flavors” contain ingredients which are defined as “natural” by the Code of Federal Regulations of the United States Food & Drug Administration. The care comprised of natural aroma chemicals, essential oils, solid extracts, fluid extracts, essences, distillates, juices, etc. “Natural & artificial flavors” contain natural ingredients but also synthetic man made chemicals which often yet occur in nature but are less expensive when made artificially through chemical reactions. They are structurally the same as the natural ingredients and are metabolized the same way.
