10. In food labeling, the use of the word "Natural" is not regulated

Edited on Tue May-09-06 01:51 PM by meganmonkey

For example (and maybe this is changed now) several years ago I was researching Monosodium Glutamate and found out it could legally be labelled as "Natural Flavor" or Artificial Flavor".

Bottom line, "Natural" doesn't mean shit on food packaging.

on edit: Neither does "free-range" on meat/egg products, btw.
