Bag of Milton’s Protein Crackers at Costco Langford BC. Why bother advertising that it is “plant-based” when it contains milk? I mean, I’ve seen products stating that they “may contain milk” but this one straight up says it does black on white!

I’m being gaslit by a bag of crackers…

    But if you think “like a lawyer” it is technically correct.

    Or if you think like a scam artist.

    Laws I’m familiar with are based on what a reasonable consumer would think, and it’s reasonable to think “plant based” means “made of plants”. They can get away with a lot of weasel words and misleading statements, but there are limits.

    But maybe the standard in BC is different.

      based means based plant based means based on plants, not 100% comprised of. plant-based also has nothing to do with ethics/exploitation/animal cruetly/animal testing.
