It is not the ingredients per se but we believe they need to show that what they claim is true. If an establishment says their offering is low-fat, fat-free, low-sugar, or sugar-free– It should be that way.

Fast-food chains or fine dining restaurants cannot just claim that they serve fat-free or low-sugar food because of the ingredients but their claims should be validated through tests.
