What are "natural flavors" in sodas like 7-up?!
Answers: I don't think 7-up is made from real lemons and limes...so what are the natural flavors they speak of
7 Up, in 2006, the U.S. version underwent another reformulation, (it had been several times since its launch in 1929) becoming "100% Natural" with five ingredients: "filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural citric acid, natural flavors(lemon and lime oils, extracted from the rinds, or skins, of the fruits) and natural potassium citrate".
Classifying this product as "100% Natural" is misleading as high fructose corn syrup is manufactured by using enzymes that convert corn starch into sugar. It should also be noted in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, high fructose corn syrup is not generally used in foods, including 7UP.
In 2007, it was announced that 7 Up would stop being marketed as "100% Natural". It is now marketed instead as having "100% Natural Flavors".
Cheers :-)
7-up is naturally flavored with sugar! thats the flavor.
I think your right
melted dr pepper bottles
water would be about it. most of it is made of suff we dont know about.
I believe the natural flavoring in most sodas is the water!
Whatever fell into the vat.
you have to think of all the "natural" flavors in the world. rats are natural, dirt is natural.....
in 7-Up, the natural flavors are lemon and lime oils, extracted from the rinds, or skins, of the fruits, where there's more volatile oils, scent and flavor. they don't use the actual juice of the fruit, because it's milder in flavor, and it would make the soda cloudy.
lemon and lime
7 Up has been reformulated several times by since its launch in 1929; in 2006, the U.S. version underwent another reformulation, becoming "100% Natural" with five ingredients: "filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural citric acid, natural flavors, natural potassium citrate".[1] However, classifying this product as "100% Natural" is problematic as high fructose corn syrup is manufactured by using enzymes that convert corn starch into sugar. (Starch is made up of multiple sugar molecules that have been linked together.) It should also be noted that this is not the case in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, where high fructose corn syrup is not generally used in foods, including 7UP. In 2007, after the CSPI threatened to sue 7 Up, it was announced that 7 Up would stop being marketed as "100% Natural". It is now marketed instead as having "100% Natural Flavors".
Natural flavored can mean anything they don't want to tell you about.It could be one lemon for a 500 gallons of mixture.
Most soft drinks use artificial flavoring.
