Good morning. I wanted to actually visit that URL to pick a part their claims, but I cannot get the “plant-based” hoo-ha text to appear on my browser view.
I am however noticing that first they tell you that you’re getting “*all natural” pork as though there would be such a thing as unnatural pork.
The asterisk disclaimer reads “minimally processed with no artificial ingredients”. The mind spins to comprehend what could be an “artificial” ingredient.
The one I’ve been hearing lately, granted it’s only a claim made in podcast ads I’ve heard:
“Made from whole food -sourced ingredients”
edit: That was a hard one to hyphenate and have it remain clear, so I spaced the hyphen to put more weight on the words whole food. The phrase means made with ingredients which were ‘sourced’ from whole food
They want you to feel as though you are getting whole foods. But since you’re getting ultra processed ingredients, they’re just telling you that at one point these ingredients were part of whole food. Before processing.
Ah I see! The whole “ultra-processed food” issue hasn’t hit mainstream here in Japan yet so I wasn’t aware of what “whole food” implied. It’s kinda wild that food producers have to convince/trick us to believe that we’re being fed food.
Or all the “Not treated with hormones!*” then in tiny print somewhere at the bottom it says “*the USDA does not permit the use of hormones”. Good job following the law, I guess?
consumers really don’t read labelling properly.
the label that always makes me chuckle is “made with 100% REAL fruit juice” which is ridiculously deceptive
The worst one I have seen is:
Serving Bowl
made from
PLANT-BASED
Fibre

So, that cardboard bowl is made out of cardboard, but if you don’t look closely enough, you just ate pork.

So they’re basically saying processed pork.
Here’s a higher resolution image of the packaging. It’s in the bottom right corner, above the nutrition labeling.
Nice! High five for going the extra mile!
That’s hilarious. This is NOT cardboard, it’s plant-based fiber, cellulose, you know, cardboard material
It’s not cardboard, is just made from the stuff that cardboard is made out of… It’s a completely different product entirely.
Eye roll
Did you miss the sarcasm?
So basically My Joke But Worse
Double eye roll
They’re working on it, though I think chicken is further along
I was promised Poreef…
…A lonnnnnng fuckin’ time ago 😤
The plant-based bowl thing is on the bottom right-hand side on the box. They don’t bring up that claim in the text of the website.

I can’t even understand that line means tbh. What does food-sourced ingredients mean, and why is whole better than partial?

In a way it’s brilliant bafflegab.

It means the same as any other marketing mumbo jumbo.

Do most people still think juice is healthy? Haven’t kept up.
