That's a very generous assumption for a company whose "flavoured, uhhh, triangles" can't pass the legal threshold of the word "chip" or "snack", let alone "tortilla".
That part I was unaware of. Can you provide evidence for this, because a quick search only surfaces that they were sued for not actually including natural lime flavor in the "hint of lime" chips. They were extensively referred to as "tortilla chips" in those articles. I have yet to find anything saying that they don't meet the legal definition of "tortilla chip."
EDIT:
They're still described as tortilla chips, just not on the front of the bag. The ingredients are literally just corn, oil, salt, and added flavoring on the flavored ones. I don't know how that "doesn't meet the legal definition."
Oh, no, we're in lemmyshitpost, so I was just talking shit about the absolutely insane marketing choice to try to sell them as "triangles".
But here we are talking about it, so fuck me, it's working.
I wouldn't think the website would be as highly regulated like the outside of the packaging. Maybe I'm wrong tho
~~Ingredients lists aren't tightly regulated? Most of these chips only have three ingredients listed: Corn, Oil, Salt. That's from the bag of Restaurant Style.~~
~~I think you're just reaching, there's not a lot of evidence to support your assertion. There wasn't much to support my assertion either, which is why I think @[email protected] had the right answer.~~
Helps to make sure you're talking to the right person.
What, I said they are regulated. Just pointing out websites aren't regulated by the FDA
~~Woosh. If the only ingredients are corn, oil, salt, then how do they not meet the legal definition for tortilla chips~~
Helps to make sure you're talking to the right person.
Read my first comment again, not sure where you're getting the idea that I think they do not meet the legal definition of tortilla chip? They probably do, but I have no idea one way or the other.
Forgive me, that is my fault, I thought you were the person I was originally responding to. My apologies. I did not mean to put words in your mouth and that's totally on me.
Hey I appreciate it. Sorry for being a bit rude as well :)
No problem, it's understandable to get frustrated and a bit rude when someones putting words in your mouth. Thanks for being forgiving.
People who read into product labels as if they’re secretly discovering that we’ve all been being fed sawdust and Soylent green instead of real food this whole time are like the sovereign citizens of marketing.
“KFC changed their name because there is no chicken in it anymore and they’re get in trouble legally! It’s just breasts grown in a lab genetically!”
I mean, of all things, a food with three ingredients...
It's like when you see a "cheese product". It is kinda cheese. So these are kinda tortilla chips I bet.
