Quality product! High or low is not specified, but low is most likely. Made with 100% xxxx. Could also include xxxx which is not 100%. Could also claim that the xxxx which is not 100 % contains some 100% xxxx and so it IS made with 100% xxxx! So does not even have 100% xxxx added as a separate ingredient.

Like: Floor washing product with 100% natural lemon. but Lemon drink with 5% natural lemon. ? :rolleyes:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This is actually a thing-- You pick the fruit before it's ripe, and expose it to ethylene gas to ripen it. You can do this yourself by putting unripe apples in a paper bag with a ripe banana, apple, or other fruit. The ripe apple gives off ethylene that hastens the ripening of the other apples. It's also the reason why one bad apple can spoil a barrel of them. :)

"It's Homeopathic!" - meaning that through a series of dilutions, there may not be a single atom of the active ingredient in what you buy. Homeopathic dilutions - Wikipedia[^] Similarly, wood finishing products that claim to be Tung Oil can get by without having any actual tung oil in them.

Or "New, improved, original recipe" If it is the original recipe then it is unchanged so is not ne or improved. Salt and Vinegar Crisps: No Preservatives (sorry - what do they think salt or vinegar is?)

[trønderen]

Publicly announced shrinkflation: Smaller pack - same great taste! In my opinion, for quite a lot of cheese, 'Best before' should be replaced with 'Best after' (without changing the date).
