• Artificial Flavors (Vanillin An Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor Processed W/Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
