COSTCO (Kirkland) "Ground Saigon Cinnamon"

I called COSTCO as there is no ingredient information on the label. It is 100% cinnamon, I was told. I suggested they say so on the label in the future! But, for a company like COSTCO, unlike Harris-Teeter, this is a no-brainer. When they say it is cinnamon, it is.

Then this e-mail exchange:

From me:


“Please explain to me why it is not deceptive to label a product as "Cinnamon Chips" that contains ZERO cinnamon?”

Hershey's response:

Salt in chicken

I called Kroger today - 1-800-632-6900 - because I bought some fresh chicken breasts there this week that had nutrition labels on them. What I learned is that this is because they have "up to 15% chicken broth" added to them. The results it sodium at 180 mg/4 ounce serving.
Other packages of fresh chicken do not provide us with a base line with which to compare nutritional information. So, for the fresh chicken, how much salt is in it? The woman on the phone at Kroger told me that their nutritionist says there are "trace" amounts in the regular chicken.What is "trace"?
Perhaps others will join me in seeking labels for nutritional contents of fresh products as well as those that have been doctored in some way - from fresh as opposed to canned or frozen fruit and vegetables to all meats and fish, etc.

This is very encouraging, noting the most recent trends toward natural/traditional and healthy food! Also, things like low-fat Corsican sausage! And an emphasis on labeling products to show their origin; consumers looking for nearby products.

A very good story. Talks about how the danger is not in the salt shaker but in the prepared foods. The global recommendation from the world forum for cancer research is 2g/day. The French consume 9g/day and the Japanese, 20g! The big concern is stomach cancer.
