<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The following is an excerpt from an email I received from Laurie Erickson at Cascade Fresh Yogurt (Seattle, WA). I thought what she had to say about labeling "natural flavorings" was interesting. "Thank you for your letter regarding Cascade Fresh yogurt. Cascade Fresh is an all natural yogurt. We use no preservatives, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or additives. Our Yogurt is sweetened with fruit juice concentrate and both the fruit and the sweetener have no preservatives or refined sugar. "The 'natural flavors' listed on our ingredient statements include only concentrates of the fruit listed on the label, and essences of the fruit that are separated during the concentration process and later returned to the fruit for their flavor contribution. the 'natural flavors' does not mean MSG. The new labeling laws require that these concentrates and essences be listed as 'natural flavors' even though they are a natural part of the same fruit already listed. "Cascade Fresh is Gluten free, our yogurt is tapioca based with the starch and pectin comes from a citrus derivative. I have also looked into the fruit juice concentrate (Pineapple, Peach, and Pear) we use and it is also gluten free." With all the talk about "natural flavorings" this only seems to further confuse the issue. Cathy in Washington State
