Beef flavoring and fat in KFC's grilled chicken

Saw this.

I don't eat beef.  It was therefore somewhat disconcerting to realize that there is beef flavoring in KFC's grilled chicken.  At least I don't eat fast food often, and I haven't tried this new grilled chicken from KFC.  I guess on the grand scheme of things, KFC isn't doing anything really wrong, since they did declare the beef ingredients on "Page 14 of a 37-page ingredient document on its website".  And it is possible that there is beef flavoring on the chicken items of other fast food brands.  It is just that I haven't bothered to look it up yet.

This is probably also less terrible than realizing that in the US, McDonald's fries has beef flavoring (labeled as natural flavor before the complaints/lawsuits).  McDonald's had touted that their fries are fried in pure vegetable oil, which caused people to mistakenly think that the fries are actually vegetarian.
