Other manufacturers do the same, and prominently mark their products to reflect that reality - made with natural and artificial sweeteners. The overall effect (it's contended) is that consumers are being defrauded in a fairly blatant way - and other producers are losing business to that product explicitly because of their deceptive practices.
It’s Pop-Tarts, mate. No producers are losing business because of misnamed fruit filling - people who want actual strawberries will purchase them. No one seriously believes that Kellogg’s are a fruit vendor. People don’t buy toaster pastries for the authentic strawberry goodness any more than they buy a McBurger for that real grilled steak experience.
Pop-Tarts are junk food and everybody knows it. Caveat emptor.
