When does a food item/ingredient qualify as natural?

If you trace anything back far enough it has to come from something that’s naturally found, right? So how removed does something have to be from those ingredients for it to be considered natural? Where’s the line?

The term natural flavor or natural flavoring is defined by the FDA as a substance extracted, distilled, or similarly derived from natural sources like plants (fruits, herbs, veggies, barks, roots, etc.) or animals (meat, dairy products, eggs, etc.) via a method of heating, with its main function in food being flavoring not nutritional.
