Natural Flavoring, just how natural is it?

I have always been a skeptic when I see “natural flavorings”. I dismiss it as a hoax to entice the willing to buy a product that really is not very natural or organic.

However recently having put some study into the matter I have been greatly relieved with my findings.

Using the information available from the National Organics Program or the NOP, I was able to find a simple answer to my questions.

The USDA National Organics Program allows the use of certain natural (non-synthetic) substances, including flavors in products labeled as “Organic” or “Made with Organic”, providing they comply with provisions established in the USDA National Organics Program.

These provisions include the restriction of synthetic materials that are formulated and manufactured by a chemical process. 

This also restricts use of things such as GMO’s, ionizing radiation, or artificial preservatives.

When Natural flavoring is used in a product which has been approved by the USDA this means only natural essences or extractives obtained from distillation or heating of the product to create flavoring.

I invite you to do your own research but I was greatly relieved by my discoveries, and feel a confidence in knowing a little bit more about a subject that I truly care about.
