There is actually regulation in the EU (and I suppose other countries) that requires a minimum height of the letters in the ingredient list. The wider typeface would not satisfy these regulations.

- chrismorgan 8y agoThat document doesn’t look to make any mention of the width of the letters. That seems a rather substantial omission! For the wider-but-not-quite-so-tall typeface is much easier to read.
