Whenever you see natural flavor on a label, it is a red flag for the catch all category where some of the really nasty chemicals can be found that are not in a large enough quantity to make it as a separate ingredient.

Processed foods can hide several different forms of these brain toxic compounds in one product by different names. Unless a consumer is educated in the different names that these chemicals are listed as, they are none the wiser.
