Most of the time, yes.
But O'Brien was eating one in the beginning of "IN THE HANDS OF THE PROPHETS".
They didn't need to.
If it had been involuntary Sarah would have reported the possession to Starfleet as soon as the Prophet left her.
Didn't she run away and die in a shuttle accident like a week later.
A few years later in a hovercar crash. The only mention of hovercars in any series.
No, she died 3 years later.
JOSEPH: It took me three years, but I found out. She was living in Australia working as a holo-photographer.
SISKO: Well, I have to speak with her.
JOSEPH: You can't.
SISKO: Damn it, Dad, I have to.
JOSEPH: She's dead. She died in a hovercraft accident about a month before I tracked her down. I loved that woman and she loved me. I know she did.
There's basically no "story" where possession being involuntary works out.
Because if it was, Sarah would have reported it. If the Prophet erased her memories, she would have investigated the years of missing time instead of running away.
Would that be under Starfleet's jurisdiction? Sarah is a civilian.
Maybe she abused substances to cope - that'd explain the accident.
We know from Raffi in PIC that substance abuse can still happen in the 24th and 25th centuries.
There's a leap.
Something I forgot to add to my review. Sort of funny.
To use a tomato or not to use a tomato... was this a nod to Eddington, too?

Alien possession of a Federation citizen is absolutely Starfleet's jurisdiction.
How so? Is their remit to investigate all crimes committed by aliens? The crime happened on Earth, right?
No, if it were even known about it'd be the responsibility of civilian Federation authorities. Starfleet guards and defends citizens in deep space, it doesn't automatically rush to the protection of every human on Earth if they get robbed by an alien visitor in a street brawl.
Starfleet security only showed up when Hoshi and Phlox were attacked on a San Francisco street in "Affliction(ENT)" because Hoshi was a Starfleet officer and had been physically attacked and Phlox was an official crewmember aboard Earth's flagship, a Starfleet vessel, and had been kidnapped.

It sucks that soft serve seems to primarily be chocolate and vanilla. Why not mint soft serve? Pistachio? Superman?
Saying Sarah would have 'reported it' might be factual in your head but in reality it is a massive assumption. It is heavily implied by the fact that she abandoned Joseph and Ben and never contacted him, that the possession was non-consensual. I mean is the Prophet supposed to have taken Sarah out for coffee and said 'listen, i need to use your body for a year or so because you've been ordained to carry the chosen one' and Sarah just went 'ok' to that? We know from 'The Reckoning' that prophets do just jump into bodies and they don't particularly care about what happens to said body.
In real life victims of sexual assault and abuse can take years to process what has happened and to come forward to speak their truth. Sarah most likely knew that Joseph was a victim in all of this as well which is why she never went to authorities and accused him of wrong doing. But at the end of the day, Sarah never chose to love him and her body was used against her will and this is a trauma that she may never have felt able to deal with.
There's a Quark's in San Francisco! 
I would assume it is very likely the Prophet altered her memory so when she was no longer needed for its purposes she wouldn't go and accidentally jeopardise the plan.
