There is a scam American companies are using to manipulate what component gets listed as the archetypal chief component on products Take Smuckers, strawberries is the archetypal ingredient. So you would think strawberries is the chief chief ingredient, but that’s not true American companies are using a food formulation method known as ‘ingredient splitting’ For Smuckers, they distinct the sweeteners up into 3 distinct ingredients. That way, all of them measure less This allows the term strawberries to be listed on the tag as the archetypal ingredient, giving the belief that it's mostly strawberries. In reality, it's mostly sugar. This is a scam. It’s outright manipulation of our scheme and lying to customers Ingredients splitting is a genuine labeling tactic, and it is legal. It’s allowed by the FDA I included 10 additional famous American foods anywhere this identical “ingredients slitting” scam maneuver is being used at the end of the video
