artificial flavor
Artificial flavors usually aren't listed by specific compound, so owners can't tell exactly what was added, and they serve no nutritional purpose for pets. For pets with food sensitivities that need tightly controlled ingredients, choose products with clearly labeled ingredients and no artificial flavors.
Other common names: artificial flavoring, artificial flavours, natural and artificial flavor, 人工香料, 人工調味料, 合成香料, 人工フレーバー
