The exact definition of natural flavorings & flavors from Title 21, Section 101, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations is as follows:
"The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."
In other words, natural flavors can be pretty much anything approved for use in food.
Not necessarily. Natural flavor can contain gluten. If they are not labeled gluten free, contact the manufacturer to ask about the source of the natural flavor. Natural flavor often contains barley.
Yes. Dr. Alan R. Hirsch holds US Patent # 7820208 issued October 26, 2010 which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/306,198, filed Aug. 7, 2003, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/334,401, filed Nov. 30, 2001. His formulation from his patent reads: "The following satiety enhancing composition can be formulated with tastants in the amounts indicated.

" A patent allows one skilled in the art to re-create the "invention"... however, this reads more like a published study than a recipe for his brand name product.

Its Flavours That Come Out Of An Orange.
artificial
Well first, they pick the strawberries and then they extract the flavor and what not. Hope that helps ya!! =)
both are yogurt yes, but one is flavored vanilla, the other is without any added flavor. No, anything unflavored is something that doesn't have any artificial flavor or any natural flavor in it. Vanilla is either an artificial flavor or a natural flavor, therefore unflavored yogurt and vanilla yogurt are not the same thing.
The ingredients are: tomato puree (water and tomato paste), diced tomatoes in tomato juice, jalapeno peppers, onions, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and natural flavor. The only ingredient that may be questionable is the "natural flavor." You would have to ask the manufacturer if the "natural flavor" is vegan.
That depends on what you mean by "artificial flavoring". Looking at the nutritional information available from General Mills for the Cheeseburger Macaroni flavor, for example, it lists "natural flavor" as an ingredient, not "artificial flavor". However, in the US a "natural flavor" is any flavor derived from a natural ingredient, while an "artificial flavor" is any flavor not ultimately derived from a natural ingredient (meaning "a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof".) Both "natural" and "artificial" flavors, when you see them listed as such in ingredients lists, are largely lab created.
The best things to use for flavor are not just fat and salt. For healthier options, flavor can be achieved through herbs, spices, and the natural flavors of the ingredients themselves.
Crisps are not a natural food source for dolphins.
Artificial and natural flavorings are added as the gum is manufactured.
