"A chemically synthesized flavor compound formulated to mimic peanut butter."
Same as any other artificial flavor — a lab-formulated chemical mimic with no actual peanut content and zero nutritional value, named specifically here because a treat is being marketed on a flavor it doesn't actually contain. Score: 1/10.
A meaningful red flag: an unnamed source, heavy processing into a by-product or digest form, or documented regulatory scrutiny in at least one country. -4 pts deducted.
