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.

At least the ingredients include some actual cinnamon.

I wonder why this does not note that there is ZERO cinnamon in this product?

Hershey's Cinnamon Chips

I called Hershey. These chips contain ZERO cinnamon!!! And on this page, this is not even disclosed!

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?”

The hidden salt in chicken - Los Angeles Times

I sure think that places selling fresh and frozen chicken could do a lot better job in comparing and contrasting all nutritional information. It's a bad reflection on them that no one seems to do this.

I bought beefsteak tomatoes at COSTCO from this supplier. They were simply marked as coming from Canada. Big country. Where? Also mentioned on the packaging was thegreengrassproject.com Not sure what that is.
