There's no regulating body that governs the labeling of "natural." You can call a piece of plastic natural if you think you can get away with it and people will believe you.

According to the USDA, food can only be labeled natural if it contains no artificial ingredients or added colors and is minimally processed. Furthermore, the label must clearly spell this definition out, so that consumers are not misled by the “natural” label. Although this label is an important step in the right direction, many consumers are more concerned about what the natural label does not mean.
