Really? How do you think they make the most junk of food still palatable enough that people aren't literally barfing while eating, say, a pizza that doesn't even have real cheese but a mediocre imitation of it? Or things like this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_methylphenylglycidate used in various cheap industrial food products like ice creams and syrups. Entirely artificial and synthesized imitation of strawberry.
We have deciphered taste down to infinite combinations of various synthetic compounds to replicate, although not to perfection, pretty much any sort of taste, which is why there is a junk food epidemic. People wouldn't be able to gorge themselves onto the road of becoming morbidly obese if artificial flavourings were not up to a decent, although not gourmet-level, standard.
