In fact, some donโt contain any strawberry at all.
This chart breaks down the 7 main types of flavor labeling youโll find on products, using strawberry as the example.
๐ฌ The difference between true-to-fruit and artificial goes beyond just taste. Itโs ingredients, sourcing, cost, and regulation.
๐๐๐ซ๐โ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ค ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง:
Natural FTNF – Only natural strawberry ingredients
Natural WONF – Natural ingredients, with real strawberry + other fruit
Natural Type – Natural, but no strawberry used
Natural & Artificial (N&A) – Mix of natural and artificial, with strawberry
N&A Type – Mix of natural and artificial, without strawberry
Artificial – 100% synthetic, no strawberry
๐ฐ And yes, as you move right, costs typically drop.
๐ก Tip: Just because it says โstrawberry flavorโ doesnโt mean thereโs any real strawberry in it. Whatโs in the label makes all the difference for regulatory, pricing, and sensory performance.
