Why did they use maltodextrin and caramel color? That doesn't seem very "natural".

Maltodextrin gives the product a nice "mouth feel". Caramel color improves visual appeal.

I can't answer that. A better brand is Lee Kum Kee because that is the person who came up with the recipe for the Oyster Sauce in the first place. I would assume that the additives you mention fall into the "natural" category. What attracted me to this brand was the wider mouth of the jar which permits inserting a spoon for measurement. However, it doesn't have the quality of flavor that Lee Kum Kee "Premium" has, and that's what I'll be purchasing from now on.

No artificial colors or flavors, and if there was a money back guarantee, I missed seeing it, or I probably would have requested in when I discovered the info on it and calcium. As I have mentioned, it may work for some, but it hasn't for me :(

The slight change of colour may be caused by normal variations in the natural ingredients.

My guess is that it's because they are natural products. When products are chemically processed, the color, smell, texture, etc. is regulated to look exactly the same every time. Not the case with products that are natural and minimally manipulated.

When I opened my bottle they were an off shade, deep in color and not very appetizing to look at. They have a weird sticky gummy texture. I didn't send them back and I've used them but I won't order this type again.

The "natural" ones have only natural flavors and colors. The other, more brightly colored ones do use artificial colors.

I considered it a bit gritty. It reminded me a bit of a soft caramel (not the sticky type).

Honestly, it tasted like it was sweetened with the stuff that has aspertame in it. So, artificial.

Susan, that's a little like asking what "blue" looks like. I think you might just need to buy some to try it, or try some in a restaurant meal.

The "other ingredients" that could be sweeteners are: cherry flavor, bitter masking agent and caramel color. However, this stuff does not taste sweet in any way to me. It's quite bitter.

The color is darker than oak or honey but is still loght. More of a caramel color

It's supposed to be all natural, that's what they state on product description too : "No artificial flavors or sweeteners". I would double check with them though, just to play safe.

In the past this was clear with a yellow tint & sweet tasting. They have since changed the formula and it is a dark/red/brown in color and taste awful by itself. Good news is , simply put in Juice or water and you are good to go.

It also contains Maltodextrin which isn't listed on the container, but it is on their website. I find that a little strange.

Perhaps because it doesn't have the corn sweetener maltodextrin added. I find it plenty sweet and have cut back on amount as I use it longer. But everyone has different taste buds! I won't buy another brand after using this.

Hi Amanda,How are you? Thank you for enjoying tummydrops. The brown rice syrup, natural cane sugar, and ginger did not change at all. Striving to make tummydrops as simple as possible, we removed the natural color as it did not add to the benefits of the product. Look for new packaging soon that will display our non-GMO verfication!Thanks for asking and have a wonderful day,your friends at tummydrops

ingredients is Natural Maple extract, alcohol, water, natural caramel color. I am now looking or just organic maple extract and alcohol same as real vanilla before they started putting sugar in that.
