"All natural" is a marketing term - and unfortunately can be open to interpretation, and abuse, as a result. After all, "natural" can be applied to muriatic acid, or crude oil, or plutonium. Contrasting this to "organic", which has has specific meanings - the original and more general one meaning "of, relating to, or derived from living organisms"...and the other, more modern definition - of being produced in adherence with organic standards (of farming/agriculture/production). From country to country, what qualifies as certifiably organic can vary, but to LEGALLY call a product "organic", and for a product to be able to display certification as such, certain standards must be met, and verified. Generally this is the difference.

Organic means grown without chemical additives/pesticides/fertilizers BTW. Good job on the loss.

Well, at one time in the past "all natural" raspberry and vanilla flavoring was derived from the scent gland of beavers. (located near their anal sac) After learning this I'm always a little uneasy about the term "natural flavor" in things. Lol that's I got
