When does a food item/ingredient qualify as natural?

549 views

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?

When any part of tree or animal is directly used as an ingredient, it is natural (even pits, peels, bark, leaves,etc). Any other cases, it has to be mentioned nature identical and artificial. I am not quite sure about the exact guidelines, but Alton Brown has mentioned it once or twice.
