So it's basically the same word, one being a noun versus the other being an adjective. That difference is so tiny that I can't see how it can be legal or meaningful. Are consumers really expected to think of parts of speech when reading labels?

I'm not sure it's that silly. Some sweets are flavoured with orange. Some just have the same flavour as orange, but weren't actually flavoured with any orange.
How can it be meaningful and legal? Well someone decided to give it a meaning and make it a law (or regulation).

I don't mean to sound snarky, but noun versus adjective is hardly a "tiny" difference. (I think you'd find quite a lot of written laws to lose their meaning were these two fundamental tenets of basic grammar to be conflated)
