We all eat them. There's very little food that doesn't have "natural flavors" as an ingredient, so what exactly are they? From the FDA at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22 (3) 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. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in §§ 182.10, 182.20, 182.40, and 182.50 and part 184 of this chapter, and the substances listed in § 172.510 of this chapter. That covers a LOT of ground so what the hell are we actually eating?

Is it true pineapple can enhance your natural flavors or is that just an often repeated myth?

Which need not come from actual food, they can be made in a lab or factory from other chemicals or rocks or whatever. A bit of a scam, isn't it.

It's sugar. If any food or beverage product says "natural flavors" anywhere on the packaging, it means they're adding sugar. Doubly so if it's an alcohol product.

Mostly going to be talking about alcohol here because that's my area of expertise. One of the most important jobs of regulatory agencies like the FDA and the Alcohol And Tobacco Tax And Trade Bureau (TTB) is maintaining legal definitions of common foodstuffs. If you're selling chicken nuggets that are 25% chicken and 75% pork and the FDA hauls your rear end into court, this cuts off at the pass arguments like "well, what is chicken, anyway? There's chicken in it, isn't that good enough?". The answer is no, it's not, because these agencies define what is and isn't chicken, as well as what is and isn't pork. A lot of these definitions are self-referential and, in a vacuum, very silly. Spirits in particular have a lot of weird clauses in the vein of "gin must taste like gin" and "whiskey must taste like whiskey". Presumably there's a bureaucrat at the TTB whose job is to sip whiskey all day and say things like "this whiskey isn't whiskey enough, take it back". These definitions invariably involve percentages of ingredients by weight. There's only so much pork you can add to chicken until it isn't legally chicken anymore. For spirits this gets can get complicated, because if you add too much sugar to gin it stops tasting like gin, which means it legally stops being gin. IIRC the cutoff is 2.5% sugar by weight, which most sugary spirits sail past. Anything above that gets classified as a liqueur (or schnapps, or a cordial, all those terms are legally interchangeable in the US). So what's a distillery to do? How does one make and sell sugary vodkas (or rums, or whiskeys, or whatever) when they're so sugary that they're not vodka anymore? Well, they're not vodka. Not legally, anyway. They're "vodka with natural flavors". Fireball? It's cinnamon vodka with natural flavors. Malibu? Coconut rum with natural flavors. Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey? Honey whiskey with natural flavors. "Natural flavors" is quick and easy workaround because it's admitting that the producer is adding something, but not telling the consumer what it is. If you're buying a bottle of flavored spirits and you see "natural flavors" on the bottle, it means they're dumping sugar into it.

The pithy way I've heard it descirbed by a food scientist is that with artificial flavors you take refined reagents and put them through a carefully controlled chemical process to get the exact molecules you want for your flavor profile. For "natural flavors" you do the same thing, but out an orange on the scale first.

Pretty sure OP is talking about the "natural flavors" entry that often appears in the ingredients list under the nutritional info, not claims of natural flavors on the front label. In this case, it's definitely not sugar, which is itemized separately. In the case of alcohol, there won't even be an ingredients list because it's regulated by the ATF, not the FDA.

If companies were required to specify exactly "what" natural flavors are actually used then they'd essentially be forced to give out the ingredients to their secret recipes. Which may or may not include freeze-dried stallion cum
