Artificial flavors are simply chemical mixtures that mimic a natural flavor in some way. Anything that we smell has to contain some sort of volatile chemical -- a chemical that evaporates and enters a person's nose (See question 139 for details).
Too bad because often the natural flavor contains more chemical ingredients than are listed on the food item itself. The reason they are allowed to call it natural is because whatever it is that they derived it from was natural to begin with. Maybe it was a plant â maybe it was the fluid from a beaverâs sweat gland.
