Yup. That's where the bugs are. Almost can't find anything without it. If it's proccessed, most likely has it. Love how they use "natural" to make us think it's a good thing. 🤣
The title of this post is misleading, the FDA has no legal or regulatory definition for a "clean" label, anyone can literally put that on their packaging. The generally accepted definition is it has minimally/naturally processed ingredients and no harmful additives. In the case of this product here, if the manufacturer is being honest about the ingredient list I would generally agree that the ingredients here are fairly "clean", natural flavors tends to be a bit of a murky area though.
"Made with clean ingredients" means that a product is made without questionable ingredients or harmful irritants2. It refers to ingredients that are recognizable and less processed13. For most consumers, a clean label means a product is healthy and free from artificial additives or preservatives
There's a 'kosher' label on this, looking it up now there's a dispute whether insects can be kosher. The talmud says there are eight species of insect that are permitted, locusts being the primary one, but there's nothing online that says what the other seven are. Suffice to say, it's probably save to assume bugs are meant to only be fed to us cattle.
It's time to go back to your local farmers. Cities are the Hellscapes of plastic food and wreck-your-knees-early-through-treadmill-obsession that they were always long-game designed to be.
“Natural flavors” is their way to use dirty stuff.

I love "flavors and other natural flavors"

Thank you for the additional information. Just noticing new labeling statements lately and thought using "Clean" was odd.
