Safe, as in suitable for a vegetarian/vegan, or safe, as in generally safe for a human being to eat?
'Natural flavor' isn't one particular ingredient, it all depends on what
flavour it is. Organic doesn't really come into it. It could be a
product derived from an organically farmed animal, but it still wouldn't
be suitable for a vegetarian then. If it says 'Suitable for
vegetarians' then I'd accept that. If it doesn't, then you'd have to
contact the manufacturer to be sure.

Natural flavour means exactly that....it's natural as opposed to manufactured, or chemically produced.
The flavour is probably an extract from some natural ingredient like
vanilla, as opposed to something that's been created in a lab.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the term "natural
flavour" may be used to list animal ingredients... right you are.... if
it says it is vegan then you would not have to worry about it... if you
are vegan. If I see that on a product I will contact the company before
buying it.... I ask them if that ingredient (or often it is a mix of
ingredients) is animal derived.

Organic does not mean vegan.
Dairy-free does not mean vegan.
USDA-certified does not mean vegan.
Soy-based does not mean vegan.
Unless it specifically says "vegan", the natural flavor could refer to pretty much anything, to be honest.
