Looking through the assortment I have the store brands list artificial
flavor but JELLO brand lists natural & artificial flavor, albeit the
flavoring is only 2% of the total. People don't buy gelatine dessert
mix for its produce nutritional content, it's best to add your own by
using real fruit juice in preparation instead of plain water and add
fresh fruit and veggies too. Gelatine dessert packets are really a
convenience item, nothing is stopping you from going the from scratch
route by using Knox.
