blueberry fruit preparation
Explanation:
This is not only the Asker's first idea, it has now been substantiated see my Reference entry and Cetacea's endorsement.
I think we are all now sensitive to the issues at stake here (mixture not filling, genuine not imitation), which points to this solution.

blueberries contain


Explanation:
The blueberries have been prepared in a certain way before being added to the muffins. Unless you have further context, it may be safer to say "blueberries contain", rather than specify that the blueberries are a filling (which would imply that they are in the centre of the muffin, rather than simply being added to the muffin mix.) The ingredients listed describe what the blueberries contain as a result of their preparation.

disagree  Cetacea: Blueberries contain all sorts of things, Vitamin C and flavonoids among them, but they do not contain "Säuerungsmittel E330, Geliermittel E440" etc. Not to mention that "blueberries contain blueberries (34,5%)" would look a bit odd as well...
45 mins
  -> You're right, natural blueberries do not contain these dreadful things, but the fruit in this blueberry muffin sadly does. "Blueberries contain" refers to the blueberries used in this product, which is surely not called a "fake-blueberry muffin"

fruit


Explanation:
I'd be inclined just to write 'fruit'. It sounds to me like the description of ingredients on a label. If it is muffins we're talking about, then you don't prepare them before mixing them in, you basically just wash them and chuck them in. These sound to me like factory muffins, so they have to list the other ingredients apart from the blueberries.

neutral  philgoddard: Except "blueberry fruit" is a tautology.
29 mins
  -> I meant it as blueberry (description) + fruit preparation

agree  Cetacea: with just "fruit preparation". The kind of fruit contained in this "Fruchzubereitung" is listed later.

  -> The German term also has Heidelbeere twice, I'm unsure, too.

Reference comments

Reference: fruit preparation?

Reference information:
Yoghurt is a solid or drinkable product of curdled milk. In its production, specific bacteria cultures are added to milk. Due to lactic acid, the product is naturally preserved. "Fruit yoghurt" is yoghurt with added fruit. Fresh fruit must comprise at least six per cent of the product. In the case of particularly flavour-intense fruits such as lemons, a minimal portion of two per cent is prescribed. In the case of "yoghurt with fruit preparation" or of "fruit-flavoured yoghurt", the fruit content is lower. The producer must specify on the label which fruit was used as well as the proportion per cent of fruit in the whole product.

But is this a translation??

Asker: it's a mixture - filling is to be made


Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
agree  Cetacea: "fruit preparation" IS the technical term for this; there's even a European Fruit Preparation Manufacturers' Association (EFPMA).//Yes, I would, since I've seen it used this way in numerous native sources.
1 hr
  -> So would you use this word in the translation?
agree  gangels: makes the most sense, or blueberry mixture
