It means the raw ingridients didn’t come from a grown or harvested source. They came by mixing two chemicals until the pure compound that produces that flavor was made. For instance you can turn paint thinner into cherry flavoring through some chemistry. https://youtu.be/NIVkBs7oWDI
It’s not THE way the industry does it but it demonstrates how artificial flavors are made.
