At least tesco tells the truth. In the US those would be called imitation crab sticks. Where imitation would be in a small font that isn’t noticeable at first glance.

Crab flavored cod sticks.

This fails to demonstrate that "imitation would be in a small font that isn’t noticeable at first glance". It's always prominent, and often part of the single most prominent piece of text on the package.

Yeah, we call it "kay-rab" to avoid confusion.
