Whole OatsGood

Natural Honey FlavorNeutral
Natural honey flavor is used to impart a honey-like taste without adding actual honey. It is typically derived from natural sources but lacks the nutritional benefits of real honey. The processing involved in creating flavor extracts can strip away beneficial compounds.
Risks
May contribute to added sugars if not carefully controlled in the diet.
