To quote you earlier in this thread: Shoulda started there.
Burger wars 2051FauxPseudo Probably so, but I'm there now. Did you notice above, "packaged food manufacturers...?" No. I said "if they used lactose extracted from milk, they can say lactose and be done with it." *Can* say...
There is a legal requirement to list the ingredients. In your prior example if they put lactose in then they need to state 'lactose'.
packaging must include List of Ingredients All the ingredients of the food, headed by the word "Ingredients" (or a phrase including that word), must be listed in descending order of weight.

Burger wars 2054Glitter Ninja What a perfectly silly thing to say. All it takes is a scale. Normal patty is 4 ounces - 4 to the pound. Some places make 5 or 6 ounce...
I know this won't stop you from continuing to maintain that McD's did nothing wrong but the fact is that they did not list some of the ingredients in their food. You stated previously that they must list all additives and now you are saying they don't have to and they aren't required to do so by law. Either you are engaged in double-speak or you are so determined to prove you are right you are willing to trample over your previous statements without any regard for constancy or continuity.
It would have been better for you to quote the OUEFDA instead of state you wrote the section. The way you phrased it makes it sound like a argument from authority.
I am not debating the mentality of the people who would or would wish to consume the product. I am pointing out that they did not declare additives which you have now taken both sides of the issue on.
If you were in Korea and eat something you thought was dog free because you read the label and didn't see dog on it would you be happy with 'a smack'.
McD's didn't disclose the tallow which is a religious issue for some people. McD's didn't disclose the wheat (regardless of how it was processed). They have admitted this. They lied by omision on a fedrally regulated issue.
It is a legal issue. It is also a PR issue and it is a religous issue. So for three reasons they deserive to pay.
