A New York woman has started a class-action lawsuit against Kellogg's over the company's Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts, claiming that the sugar-laden pastries don't have enough strawberries in the filling.

"The amount of strawberry ingredients is insufficient not merely to provide the nutrient benefits of strawberries but to provide a strawberry taste."
