Are strawberries not always strawberries?

To make food (e.g. breakfast cereals) look healthier, its packaging can represent good-looking, colorful fruit. It seems natural that if we choose strawberry-flavored breakfast cereals, they should be on the packaging. However, let’s not be under any illusions – this product has little to do with strawberries (apart from the taste). It goes without saying that eating fruit containing fruit is healthier. Therefore, if we reach for such a product, we will contribute to the improvement of our health condition.

That is why such products are more likely to be reached by the average consumer without even knowing how wrong he is. For example, such “strawberries” are mostly composed from soybean oil and sugar.

Finally, not everyone pays attention to the back of the package. According to American law, such a marketing strategy is XNUMX% legal.

However, not everyone thinks that the taste can be artificially prepared, and the traces of the example strawberries are primarily used to disguise marketing manipulation.
