The "Natural Flavors" ingredient in the U.S.

Just because something claims to have natural flavoring for strawberry, doesn't mean it actually comes from strawberries.

Something "vanilla" flavored may actually come from chemically processed wood pulp, or even the anal castor sacs of a beaver.

  • "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram.

For example, take a look at the "Serving size" of some cooking spray. 1/3 of a second of spray means 0.25g... So everything is zeroed out in the Nutrition facts.
