Flavoured foods 'lacking fruit'

Beware of what you wish for.
"A consumer pressure group says that shoppers are being misled into buying fruit-flavoured products which contain little or no fruit...

It produced a long list of strawberry-flavoured products available in British supermarkets which it said could potentially mislead customers...

One strawberry fruit bar had 0.5% strawberry, and was actually made almost entirely from apples."

Bad apples. Bad, bad apples. (BTW, how does a food "made almost entirely from apples" "contain little or no fruit"?)

I am all in favor of truth in packaging.

But, this is not the issue.

"The Food Commission campaigns against the use of artificial additives in food, and said that these should not be used to replace an ingredient which might be more beneficial to health."

If it really cared about health, then it would advocate for strategies to save the public from Calories.

Too many Calories are the real "health" culprits, not inadequate amounts of foods from highly pesticided crops.
