warning bag volume is not representative of actual content volume. most of it is air...

:palm:
They might as well put things like "Does not contain elephants" or "Comes without steering wheel"
what's next ?
A bag of salad that says "Vegan friendly" ?
A bag of rice that says "No cows inside" ?
post your marketing bullshittery gripes below. i'm curious to see what other bullshittery is out there.

It's not bullshittery, a coeliac friend really opened my eyes to foods that *shouldn't* contain gluten but often do without listing on the ingredients (grated cheese for instance)
Having 'Gluten Free' on a packet is a written guarantee it is indeed gluten free so a coeliac can grab a snack without having to pore over the ingredients list or worry that there's somehting that's not listed or the product has been contaminated by another process in the same factory.

ingredients : potato , safflower oil, salt . Tell me , what parts contain gluten ?
A lot of this stuff is hype. look our product is this and that. Many people latch on to the buzzword du jour...
This bag of lettuce is lactose free , gluten free , vegan / vegetarian / ovo-pescatarian and omnivore approved. Not for fruitarians.

An amusing political commentator, about a year ago, said his political adversaries drank "plant-based beer".
