I would propose a regulation that if a food package somehow mentions there is not something (sugar, fat, artificial sweeteners etc) in the food, but the food contains some other element of the same list, the thing that is contained should be mentioned with at least as visible labeling than the one that is missing.
Doesn't this incentivise them to deliberately add allergens, so they can keep them on the label
I think he might be referring to the existence of labels on food products. Some countries might not have labels listing ingredients on processed food products.
Am I the only one associating this with actual Nutrition labelling?
This is a straw man. No one said "warning" label. I said "label", just like ingredients are labeled.
Fine by me, but for the love of god, label it. Label everything. Stop bending to the will of every shady food manufacturer and give some transparency to the human beings actually consuming these substances.
Nutrition Facts Labels for ToS agreements would be nice.
There's a difference between "didn't check the label" and "can't check the label because the info isn't on it".
Nutrion labels - would you consider them harmful? I see them as a net positive.
Nutritional info is legally required, and you cannot legally misrepresent it, doesn't that make it legally binding?
