Marketing Claims
The claim 'Made with Kitchen Ingredients' is questionable as the product also contains highly processed components like palmolein oil and artificial flavors. The 'Yummy Cheese' flavor is derived from only 0.2% cheese powder, relying heavily on added flavors, which might mislead consumers about the cheese content.
