- sp332 10y agoThe FDA regulates what gets to be called "mayonaise", and the investigation was about whether they were allowed to use the word "mayo" for something that didn't have egg in it. They settled by putting "egg-free" on the front label in reasonably large text.
- debacle 10y agoI think that's fair, but I remember the stump piece that was trying to paint the FDA as obstructionist, it felt very dishonest.
- ajoy39 10y agoI don't think they're being investigated for that, but they did buy there own product off store shelfs to create the illusion of high demand, helping them get in more stores http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-04/food-startup-ran-undercover-project-to-buy-up-its-own-products http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-04/food-start...
