Artificial Flavor

Synthetic flavor compounds; generally halal.

Why?

Artificial flavors are synthesized in a lab to mimic natural tastes, rather than extracted from plant or animal sources. Since they don't involve animal-derived inputs, they are generally considered halal, though the same alcohol-carrier caveat as natural flavors can occasionally apply.
