How Can A Drink Be Naturally Flavored But contain 0% Juice?

Question

What Is Giving It It's Natural Flavor?

Such as Flavored Waters, Etc.

Answer 1

Flavor extracts can contain only purely natural flavors and no actual juice. You can buy lemon extract and orange extract, for example, and these do not contain juice. Flavor is just that, an essence.

This is of course partly an attempt to deceive those who buy such drinks, but your best defense is to do what you have done and read the whole label.

Answer 2

I found this on Vegsource - an article written by Dar Veverka:

"The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."

In other words, natural flavors can be pretty much anything approved for use in food."

Answer 3

If it is 100% Natural Flavor but is 0% Juice,then it might be 100% fruit not made into juice.Actually,that's kind of a hard question!Ya got me!!

Answer 4

It's like saying, It's flavored, naturally (of course)! The natural flavoring comes from something "similar" (similar to imitation)

Answer 5

There are many natural things that don't come from produce. For example, cinnamon is just tree bark. You could easily flavor something with cinnamon without making cinnamon juice.
