Would you be as accepting of I sold an "organic peaches" flavored product because it was the same flavor as organic peaches?

If you didn't use the word organic, sure. In food, the word "organic" has a specific legal meaning:

> "Any product labeled as organic on the product description or packaging must be USDA certified"

A synthetic peach flavoring would almost certainly be unable to attain this sort of certification.

But calling a peach-flavored product "peach" is as old as the hills, and of course I'm okay with it.
