Marketing Claims
The claims 'Non-GMO Corn' and 'Gluten Free' are specific health-related statements. The primary marketing of 'Cheddar Cheese' is questionable, as the actual cheese powder content is extremely low at 0.6%, with the taste being primarily derived from added flavours and enhancers. While technically 'cheese flavour', it may mislead consumers into believing the product has a significant amount of real cheese.
