Natural flavouring
Zināms arī kā: aromas naturales, natürliches Aroma
A legal label for plant- or animal-derived flavour compounds, not one specific chemical.
"Natural flavouring" is a regulatory category, not a single substance - it covers extracts or isolated compounds from natural sources used to add taste or smell. Individual flavouring substances are safety-reviewed before use, but because the label doesn't say which ones are inside, allergen or sensitivity risks can't be checked from the name alone.

Why it matters
"Natural flavouring" (or "natural flavour") is a legal term for substances obtained from plants, animals or microorganisms - through pressing, distillation, fermentation, or extraction - and used in tiny amounts to give food or drink a taste or smell. It is not a chemical name; it can hide dozens of possible compounds, from citrus oils to vanilla extract to fermentation-derived esters. In the body it works the same way any flavour molecule does: it triggers taste and smell receptors. For most people this is harmless. The main concern is that people with specific allergies (e.g. to citrus, nuts, dairy-derived compounds) can't tell from the label whether a trigger ingredient is present.
