thanks everyone!!! for your great support here....

I could write a book on this topic

Heidelbeeren Bilberries (in the wild) taste better although smaller, also known as whortleberries, whinberries, blaeberries, hurts. Bilberry crumble is a favourite.
BirgitBerlin Feb 21, 2011:
Thanks for that, Helen! Amazing, with what we get fooled today! Will have to cut these from my diet, too!
Helen Shiner Feb 21, 2011:
... the blueberry bits themselves .... ... don't even contain bits of blueberries ... http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=7EC06D27B1A945BE85E7DA8483...
philgoddard Feb 21, 2011:
My grandma used to say... that real, down-home, finger-lickin' blueberry muffins should use E451 as an acidifier, not E450.
BirgitBerlin Feb 21, 2011:
eeeeeverything is faked in our food, folks... You should start reading the packets with care!
I am sort of on a mission to make people aware, but it's a bit like rolling a stone uphill. Fake cheese on frozen pizza, fake ham, fake this, fake that. That's what the food industry is: an industry. They are not interested in using what grows naturally!
Google the film Good Food-Bad Food and you'll see....
British Diana Feb 21, 2011:
The one on the picture might be one... Papier ist geduldig. What about the American muffins they serve at fast food places here???
Sarah Bessioud Feb 21, 2011:
I can't believe it's not a blueberry! The new brand of imitation blueberries ;-) Frightening stuff
British Diana Feb 21, 2011:
Unbelievable! Jeux de Mots, this is getting worse and worse. "Artificially flavored with imitation blueberries" And although this is written on the box people obviously still buy it and bake their muffins "in a jiffy". IT's not quite that bad in the EU, I think, although I did hear that cranberries are often faked over here.
Sarah Bessioud Feb 21, 2011:
Not a single blueberry in sight here.... At least this make of blueberry muffin mix is up front about their blueberries - on the front of the packet!

Sarah Bessioud Feb 21, 2011:
@ Diana & Birgit My goodness, what is the world coming to? Why do we have fake blueberries when the real mccoy is a beautifully-formed, wonderfully-coloured tasty berry? Probably to make them taste sweeter, look better, keep longer and not sink to the bottom of the muffin. My oh my, bring back the rustic-looking home-baked muffin with natural ingredients.... please!
British Diana Feb 21, 2011:
fake blueberries in L.A. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jan/20/news/la-heb-fake-blu...

This is the sort of thing that makes it important to have exact declarations and exact translations of ingredients!

Heidelbeere The wild version is known mostly as bilberry in the UK, although there are also regional names. The cultivated variety is generally known as blueberry in the UK.
BirgitBerlin Feb 21, 2011:
@ jeux de mots That's true. A filling is more a mass in the centre, rather than blueberries dotted around a muffin. I have been thinking about this long and hard, but "blueberries contain" is not right either, that implies real blueberries.
Darko Kolega (asker) Feb 21, 2011:
yes - thanks indeed! for all your comments and time!

take care all of you!
Sarah Bessioud Feb 21, 2011:
@ Darko Thanks for your warm greetings - we're struggling to get above zero today ;-)

A "filling" would be how I would describe the apples in an apple pie, mincemeat in a tart or the jam in a doughnut. A "fruit filling" often implies that the fruit is in the centre of a cake or muffin. This could be possible in a muffin, but quite often they are added (not by hand but by machine) to the mixture in a "haphazard" way, so that the blueberries are dotted around the muffin rather than congregating in the centre.
BirgitBerlin Feb 21, 2011:
As with everything in our food... ... the blueberry filling in the cake are not real blueberries, but a preparation resembling blueberries (containing a few), of which they have to list the contents by law.
Darko Kolega (asker) Feb 21, 2011:
it has to be "filling" as it is industrial - I can't imagine those blueberry grapes are manually aded in each muffin..... so it is surely blueberry mixture or filling; not "with" blueberries

thanks - you coolinary experts!!

greetings from warm Dalmatia (15°)!

blueberry fruit preparation

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.
Peer comment(s):

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.
55 mins
The German term also has Heidelbeere twice, I'm unsure, too.
agree Coqueiro : http://www.totalgreekyoghurt.com/products/product_detail.asp... kind of fake food: greek yoghurt 0%

ingredients of the blueberry filling

First you have the ingredients for the cake mix and then the ingredients for the blueberry filling.

blueberries contain

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.
Peer comment(s):

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

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.
Note from asker:
thanks Slindon!

Reference comments

1 hr
Reference:

fruit preparation?

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??
Note from asker:
thanks!
it's a mixture - filling is to be made
Peer comments on this reference comment:

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 (X) : makes the most sense, or blueberry mixture

Thanks, gangels
