  In the US, rather dishonest.  "natural flavor" hides a multitude of sins (like tallow in McDonalds' vegetable-oil-fried french fries!), and some things, such as tallow used to "wax" fruit, need not be declared.  I rely on the kosher markings, which are much more reliable than the government labels for processed foods. (There are over 100 certifying agencies, most of them reliable; it helps to know the main ones.  A plain "K" is almost certainly evidence of cheating, since the maker hasn't been able to get a real agency's mark.  Example: planters dry-roasted peanuts, plain-K kosher, but made with gelatin.)
