You are needlessly blurring the issue. Forget the cheesecake. Focus on the Strawberry topping. A homemade strawberry topping will be strawberry, sugar, and starch or gelatin. BUT, the strawberry topping from your frozen foods section will likely be 3 strawberries sliced up large enough so the consumer thinks it's just like homemade because they see the fruit, and then a 98% of industrial red flavoring. There is very little incentive not to use strawberry flavor because both products can be sold as the same. Would it really be so wrong to require more honesty in what we buy? When choosing a product wouldn't it be nice to choose between one with 98% red flavor versus one with 98% strawberry?
