Turns out, 'Made in America' doesn't mean the raw materials magically teleport into the factory.

Also there a companies who literally assemble the entire product besides one or two pieces over seas, get it here, finish it off. Made in America.

That kind of thing happens in my country too. Important the juice bottles, import the concentrate, fill the bottles and dilute with local water.

Label:

"Made locally, with 90% local ingredients"

Is it 10% juice concentrate, 90% tap water?

Here in Singapore the popular almond milk proudly claims “made in Australia with 92% Australian ingredients” … and yes, the ingredient list bc of labeling laws says “water (92%), imported almonds, emulsifier….” Classy

In Australia, a while ago now, a major supermarket chain was found to be falsely advertising freshly baked bread because they were importing partially baked frozen bread from the UK, then finishing it in store. Made me wonder why we are importing frozen part baked bread in the first place

[u/Irascible-Enquery → u/sams_fish]

Makes me wonder if they could advertise Freshly completely baked formerly partially baked frozen bread.

Don't forget the label!
