It says natural blueberry, vanilla and strawberry flavors on the top of the package. You don't get natural blueberry, vanilla or strawberry flavor from grapes. You get them from blueberries, vanilla, and strawberries. If you derived a blueberry flavor from a grape, it would count as an artificial flavor.
I'd be more concerned about "and other natural flavors" that aren't even mentioned anywhere.
But The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act says if the natural or artificial flavor contains any of the 8 most common food allergens, it must be labeled.
Well I mean, apparently there are "strawberries" in it. And "beet juice (for color)". Breyers themselves have used their ingredients list in their marketing, "Just milk, cream, sugar and fruit." If they just mashed up some berries they'd be proud to list that. So some laboratory grade shit has taken place.
If I'm being charitable, which having slept reasonably well last night I'm prone to being, I'll acknowledge that blueberry juice is reddish purple and not blue, so to get the proper French tricolor they probably had to render it colorless somehow and then color it with something else, which is why "strawberries" are listed but "blueberries" aren't.
I'm still not buying the cold dessert cow-related edible substance though.
