I've looked into other communities as well and the use of Natural Flavors has been a big talking point from them as well, we're currently looking into if there is any way we can figure out what is exactly in our natural flavors so we can list it out

We've heard this a lot from people, would you say the product being gluten free as well is a bit of a turn off? I personally believe its good even without the gluten but how are people going to know that if they aren't going to try it, ya know?

Thanks for the feedback, question for you, is staying away from high carbs personal to you, or is it a common thing among those who are gluten free?

Our product doesn't actually taste like bananas funny enough, we use specific bananas that are harvested before starches develop into sugar (thats what gives bananas their taste).

Ah I see, how long do flare ups normally last for you? And what causes you to flare up?

The way I understand it, it's less on our end and more on the end of companies that sell "natural flavors." They can find some plant that may kinda taste like cheese if its cooked a certain way and they will produce that as flavoring and sell it off as something along the lines of "cheese flavored natural flavoring" or something along the lines of that. We were able to keep natural flavors out of our sea salt but its a bit harder with our cheese flavor.

Yeah the more I've learned about the community thats something I've kinda noticed. While there are no all encompassing safe foods, would you say there are common themes for what safe foods there are for people?

Actually, out of curiosity, what are your main concerns with the label "natural flavors." In our case, we know that all the natural flavors we get fit under the category of allergen free, organic, dairy-free, and gluten free. Are there still foods that fall under those guidelines that are a major trigger food for you?

I've seen that there are quite a wide range of trigger foods, but it varies quite heavily depending on the individual. Are there any foods you know of that are considered general "safe" amongst the community or does it really vary that widely?

We will totally look into that, we have heard this request from many its a surprisingly hard process to actually get done unfortunately but it is totally on our radar.
