I've never seen labeling like this before. Interesting.

JFC can we make this list obligatory on all products?

It's so amazing to finally just read in plain English what an ingredient is supposed to be doing.

Maybe even add a few columns?

I would like to see this but for laws as well. Just cut down all that self-important job security and say what it is in plain english

There is actually a law for that (in the US)(apologies for linking to a currently fascist source)

“Spices, natural and artificial flavors”

Mmm tastes like freedom and definitely not a corporate hellscape.

In Europe it is necessary that all food products contain such a list of all ingredients.

Example: Coke ZERO. Ingredients: Water, carbonic acid, colorant E150d, souring agent phosphate acid, sweetening agent (sodium cyclamate, acesulfam K, aspartam), natural flavor, flavor coffeine, acid regulator sodium citrate.

I translated that by hand so it probably contains mistakes.
