Thanks, that narrows it down to just about everything.
July 13, 2016 12:42 am at 12:42 am #1159028👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhat is considered natural?
July 13, 2016 2:30 am at 2:30 am #1159029akupermaParticipantNatural means not assembled from chemicals. Things such as pig blood and ground up insect are natural since they were made from genuine pigs and genuine insects.
Anything with a flavor added is inherently in need of a hecksher to be kosher.

July 13, 2016 4:30 am at 4:30 am #1159031charliehallParticipantArsenic is natural. I would not recommend eating it, even with a hechsher.

Not really. Natural means that the flavor component comes from the item in question and artificial means the flavor comes from something else.
There is more than just the flavor component so it may need a hechsher regardless if it is natural or artificial.

Artificial means made from things that are not ordinarily thought of as food. So if you make cherry flavor out of wood, that’s artificial.
