Because it's literally a chemical compound it's nearly impossible to tell.
Here is one example.
Artificial strawberry flavor:
- amyl acetate - (Hazardous)
- amyl butyrate - (Hazardous)
- amyl valerate - (Hazardous)
- anethol - (Harardous)
- anisyl formate - (Hazardous)
- benzyl acetate - (Hazardous)
- benzyl isobutyrate - (Hazardous) Keep away from children!?!?!
- butyric acid - (Hazardous)
- cinnamyl isobutyrate - (Hazardous)
- cinnamyl valerate,
- cognac essential oil,
- diacetyl,
- dipropyl ketone,
- ethyl acetate,
- ethyl amyl ketone,
- ethyl butyrate,
- ethyl cinnamate,
- ethyl heptanoate,
- ethyl heptylate,
- ethyl lactate,
- ethyl methylphenylglycidate,
- ethyl nitrate,
- ethyl propionate,
- ethyl valerate,
- heliotropin,
- hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol),
- a-ionone,
- isobutyl anthranilate,
- isobutyl butyrate,
- lemon essential oil,
- maltol,
- 4-methylacetophenone,
- methyl anthranilate,
- methyl benzoate,
- methyl cinnamate,
- methyl heptine carbonate,
- methyl naphthyl ketone,
- methyl salicylate,
- mint essential oil,

- nerolin,
- neryl isobutyrate,
- orris butter,
- phenethyl alcohol,
- rose,
- rum ether,
- g-undecalactone,
- vanillin,
- solvent.
What happened to actually using strawberries?
I got lazy, and a little freaked out, pulling the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for all of these compounds, but please feel free!
Basically, I understand "Artificial Flavor" to be a cocktail of chemical compounds that are mostly harmful when ingested!
WONDERFUL!
