Crossword Genius

They produce flavouring aids, seen in a different light (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aniseeds

'they produce flavouring' is the definition.
(aniseeds may be used to flavour food)

'aids seen in a different light' is the wordplay.
'in a different light' is an anagram indicator.
'aids'+'seen'='aidsseen'
'aidsseen' anagrammed gives 'ANISEEDS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
