Kraft Foods markets a product called "Kraft Dips Guacamole." A lawsuit
has been filed seeking to enjoin them from using the word "guacamole" because the product contains less than 2% avocado. Instead it is made from modified food starch, coconut and soybean oils, corn syrup and green food coloring (or whatever combination makes green). Turns out that there are no regulatory standards for guacamole, unlike, say, peanut butter, which has to be 95% peanuts. Kraft says. ""We think customers understand that it isn't made from avocado." They don't say why they have such a high opinion of their customers. Nevertheless, they say they will relabel the product. On the one hand it's not deceptive because the ingredients label is as accurate as the law requires. On the other, many of us think that if it says "guacamole" it oughta be mostly avocado. -aem More of the story he http://www.sacbee.com/114/story/85337.html |
