13 products, of which we are lied to all the time



Not all manufacturers are honest with us. Sometimes, buying a product in the store, we didn't even know what it consists of.

The website has collected 13 products on which we are not told the whole truth.

Chips



Most of the crisps made not from potatoes, as we used to think. Used for the production of flour (wheat or corn) and a mixture of starches. Typically, the dough for the chips contains no more than 42 %of potato. And bright and "natural" flavour is achieved by means of additives.

There are other manufacturers that use real potatoes. 1 big pack is about 2 medium potatoes. It is important to know that this product is subject to high taxes, which means that the chips from real potato will cost dearly.

Cheese for sandwiches



Most of the cheese (sandwich, grated or slices) in fact do not always contain... cheese. To save money and simplify the process, some manufacturers have replaced milk whey protein or palm oil. Such a product would no longer be cheese, and cheese product, but the label can not write.

  • Real cheese must be made from natural milk and does not contain vegetable fat.
  • Cheese with the addition of palm oil when cutting begins to crumble. But if you press it, remains a dent and stand out liquid. In this cheese, as a rule, no natural flavoring.
Food in jars



The products, which are sold in jars, usually in a large font indicates the total weight of the goods and below — ground primary product. In the production and packing of goods allowed deviation from the bulk on a certain value (for each product different). And this deviation is often in the smaller side.

Cheese sauce



If the sauce is called cheese, it does not mean that in its composition contains cheese. Basically all sauces have the same basis, and the vivid and specific taste is achieved by means of fragrances and flavors that can be only partially genuine.

Pastry



Various pastry with filling, such as croissants or rolls, stuff them with the filling only half, if not the edges by injection. Of course, manufacturers do this in order to save. And the buyer is hoping to get a lot of delicious toppings as shown on the packaging remains with almost nothing.

Chocolate with nuts



"A lot of nuts" — such inscription flaunts on most bars of chocolate. In fact, in the usual tile, usually only 3-5 of nutsthat can be ground or partially replaced by cheaper varieties. The substitution you will not feel, and cost of such chocolate is 2-3 times more expensive.

Nuggets



Though the nuggets called chicken, meat chicken in them, not so much. The fact that the mixture for the classic nuggets is made of chicken meat is only 50 %. The remaining 50% is soy and beef.

Instant coffee



Whatever may be said in advertising, but instant coffee can not be 100 % natural. Yes, it's made from organic grains that are ground and treated with hot water. Then converted into a powder (or instant coffee) granules (granular) or freeze dried (freeze-dried). But as a result of these processes, it loses much of its flavor and aroma. This "lack of" fix it with flavors.

Iced tea



Iced tea made from tea extract. First brewed, then dried, resulting in powder that will be transported and re-diluted. As a result, when pouring the tea in a jar can be less than 1 % and the rest is sugar, water and flavorings.

  • If the composition does not "extract of tea", then in the bottle normal water, which made like tea with various additives.
  • Iced tea, as a rule, no fresh leaves and natural berries — it uses the flavors (not always natural).
Butter



Not all products labeled "butter" really are. The natural oils short: whole milk and cream. If the product packaging does not have these components, then you most likely margarine. Even real butter never not crumbly and does not stick to the knifeif it came fresh from the fridge.

Frozen food



When selling any frozen goods is extremely important the weight of the product. Therefore, to increase the price, some marketers add a package water, which can be up to 50 % of the weight of the goods. And in some cases in addition to water in the package can be other inedible parts. In the end the product may be left only 25-35 %.

Bottled water



In most cases, bottled mineral water that we buy, isthe ordinary water from the tap. Whatever the name on the back label in small print it is possible to find the inscription: "From the source Central water supply". Due to multi-step cleaning number of useful elements in the water is reduced to zero.

Fries



Manufacturers often use the technique of visualization and comparison. Our psyche is arranged so that, when faced with 3 different volume packing, we will choose average. However, in most cases, medium and large — the same.

For example, not all know, but in some fast food restaurants difference between a large French fries and medium, — only in the package. And sometimes, in the middle of the pack may be even more potatoes.
