I just found out Oreo packaging always refer to the filling as "creme" because "cream" is a word regulated by law in the United States, and you can't refer to mixture that contains less than certain percentage of milk fat as "cream" (Oreo contains no milk fat — in fact, it contains no animal products and is vegan).

What are some other ways food manufacturers get around using regulated words? I know anything that says "choco" or "chocolatey" instead of "chocolate" do so because they swapped out expensive cocoa butter with cheap palm oil, and you can't call something chocolate without minimum certain percentage cocoa butter content.

Taco bell has been sued multiple times because they swap out their "beef" with ass juice.

I remember there was a lawsuit against Arby's because their "roast beef" is literally just deli meat. But technically it is "roasted" beef, as it is cooked with heat, so they got away with it.

If I recall a lot of gum brands say their sugar free but use sugar alchohol which is the same thing but doesn't make the karen types stop buying it.

Tictacs have sugar, but labeling laws say sugar free is less than one gram per serving, and one tictac is one serving, so they get away with calling themselves sugar free when they're basically straight sugar.

It is clearly misleading but the type of people who eat that trash are too stupid to understand that.
