Flavors

Question

Dear Rabbi CYA, Actually, some of the information you stated is incorrect regarding natural flavors. I will give an example. Shop Rite marshmallows have natural flavoring. I called the company and they told me that the natural flavor is vanilla. So this shows that sometimes natural flavors can actually be there for taste. I agree that this has no halakhic significance since you can't actually taste the individual vanilla flavor (it mixes with other flavors), but it isn't just there for texture etc.

But the Gemara does not consider this flavoring. AA
