Food product ingredients
This term is part of a list of ingredients on the packaging of a German convenience food product. I'm in two minds as to whether this is "spice flavour" or "spice flavouring".
Specifically, the line it appears on is as follows:
Zitronenaroma, Gewürz, Gewürzaroma.
"lemon flavour, spice(s), spice flavour(ing)"
Can someone advise further?
Thanks,
Will

spice flavouring
I think this is, as you suggest, spice flavouring in contrast to the actual spices themselves.
See e.g. "Water, Spirit Vinegar, Mustard Seeds (19%), Salt, Sugar, Spice Flavouring, Citric Acid, Colour - Riboflavin, Thickener - Xanthan Gum" http://www.heinz.co.uk/ourfood/sauces/bread-spreads/english-...

spice flavouring
'Spice flavouring' is probably best for a list of ingredients. The 'Gewürzaroma' could be a proprietary product to enhance the 'Gewürz' (spices) preceding it.

I would like to withdraw my answer, since it no longer corresponds. "seasoning flavouring" would sound awful.
I will add a note.
Flavouring: (Cookery) a substance used to impart a particular flavour to food (rum flavouring)
Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003
Here are my thoughts:
flavour = the taste of a food
flavouring = the substance that gives the food its flavour
I am curious about your feedback.
