What are the "natural flavors" in vegetarian bacon bits?

I have seen what are supposedly vegetarian bacon bits on the shelf of my local natural foods store. However, as I was reading the list of ingredients, I noticed that "natural flavors" were included. If the "natural flavors" don't come from animals, then where do they come from?

natural vegetarian flavours ( particularly beef and pork ) normally come from yeast.

If it says suitable for veggies on the packet then you are probably ok to trust it.

Talk to your health food store worker. But more than likely is "Smoke" or other similar things to make them more Bacon Like.

Some bacon bits flavours come from soya sauce, kelp, or salisify. Sometimes chemicals that make up a composition that simulates natural flavours.. they lie when they call this natural flavours. It's best to make your own see my yahoo blog if you need to know how!

natural bacon! or a more likely option is where most natural flavors come from; herbs or vegetable oils. natural flavors basically means that they dont want to give their recipe away that easily so it will probably just be something like herbs or vegetable oils, thts what most things that say that are.
