Probably they were the waste product left over after chemical
extraction of "natural flavor." There are lots of waste products like
that on the market these days, including (I suspect) the largely
flavorless butter that is the norm at the supermarket now. Where does
"natural butter flavor" come from? Ask your local dairy!
