Not necessarily but you can't know what it is. They won't tell you.

What is this? It's not like you can buy "natural flavors" in a bottle and use it when cooking! So what is it? Is there a standard of what it can be? I am just curious. If it's salt, spices, etc then why don't they just list the ingredients? Is it subversive?
