I've never seen or heard about any.
Many here ask about certain subs in the recipes threads.

I havent found many flavors if any Id call a substitute for any other flavors. some might have small similarities but pretty much everything I have tried are pretty unique to themselves. that doesnt mean you couldnt swap inawera apple for FA apple but its not going to taste like the original recipe poster and most likely will have to re configure some % in whatever recipe. something that looks a little more common these days is people adding substitutes to they recipes they post, Ive always assumed those subs come from notes they taken when they tried something and it was ok but not the goal so they changed it up till it was what they wanted.
only thing off the top of my head that to me taste very similar would be FA RY4 and TFA RY4 double or whatever. very close in taste FA is just cleaner and doesnt really need to steep like the TFA version. and then again thats just my tongue :p Im sure there is more but very few. long story short thats why there is no list.

Every brand has there own flavor profile and subs will change the flavor of the final mix. Somethings are close but not the same.
For example Cap custard is close to FA custard but FA has a hint of lemon and CAP has more egg taste. You can sub them but the finial mix won't be the same. Not saying it won't taste good and I've been known to sub myself but I usually like a recipe better when I get the correct flavor.

The strength of brands differ also CAP at 8% is ok but FA at 8% would take over the mix.

Some of the mixers on this forum are masters in my option and putting Ketchup on the meat is an insult to the chef.
I'm sure some of the master mixers will be along with better info than I.
