- glitchc 6y agoNutritional information is information. It is legislated and regulated, but not a contract. The manufacturer has to comply with regulations, but that is not considered a legally binding contract, and failure to comply does not constitute breach of contract. To be clear, just because there's a legal penalty attached for failure to comply does not constitute a contract between the manufacturer and the government. Similarly, the individual is not bound to any contract to the manufacturer by purchasing a can of beans. They are, on the other hand, when purchasing software. It's a crucial difference.
- Supermancho 6y agoIt's not quite the same to describe something that already exists, as opposed to describing actions that have or have not happened yet (nor will they for the duration of a policy lifespan). Auditing ingredients is _relatively_ trivial to trying to audit the amorphous "privacy" restrictions.
