Check.

But what if they include, as they did, tallow but don't list it in any form?

Completely. I had searched for FDA info on labeling and apparently in the 12 minute time frame I had to read and reply to your post I grabbed a non-sequitur link.

Check.

I made my point-goal clear. You stated Y must do X. And then I pointed out that Y had just recently acknowledge that they didn't do X and it had happend as rently as Z moons ago. Since then you have been trying to say, contrary to your earlier statement that they are not required to do so and that it is perfectly fine if they didn't other than a little PR problem while I have maintained, as you stated inyour orginal comment, that they are legally required to do X.

That is pretty clear.

Not exactly. :) I was simply pointing out that theremighthave been a better way to have done it without sounding like you were arguing from authority. Admitidly there isn't an easy way to do it on this one unless you pull from another source that you didn't write but I think I will find some of that below.

Ok then we can end this now.

I was illustrating through analogy why McD's should have listed beef specifically as an additive in their fries. I thought that would have been transparent.

And it was good.

And in my youth I was one of them.

On a chemistry level I agree with you. Which is why I haven't pushed the wheat thing nearly as hard as the beef issue.

Lots of info but nothing I saw points to what they can omit from the ingrediants section.

The way I read that is that they do not need to post full 'nutritional information'. It doesn't mention anything about what additives can be omitted.

The last one is not a contextual quote here is the whole thing: Grocery store aisles are avenues to greater nutritional knowledge.

Under regulations from the Food and Drug Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the food label offers more complete, useful and accurate nutrition information than ever before.

It is a comparative statement about previous labeling vs new standards. Not a reference to grocery stores vs restaurants.

So where are the sections on prepared foods that tell us what they can omit?

Agreed. The point I am addressing is not cross contact but intentional misinformation though omission.
