You shouldn’t call an apple an orange. That might get you into trouble.
BJ’s Wholesale Club (Jensen Beach, FL) is selling 28-ounce plastic tubs of UTZ Chocolate Covered Pretzels as described on the pricing label for $5.99.
The plastic tubs are displayed in boxes displaying the phase UTZ Chocolate Covered Pretzels.
But only when you turn the plastic tub over do you find what you’re actually buying. Chocolate Flavored Covered Pretzels.
I know, hard to read. Sorry.
What’s the difference?
- Chocolate: The food product made from the roasted seeds (beans) of the cacao tree. The hulled meat of the bean, the nib, is ground and processed, into various forms for eating and drinking.
- Chocolate Flavored: A chocolate-type product that substitutes vegetable oil for all or part of the cocoa butter. Used to coat fruit and for other decorating purposes. Products made with confectionary coating will be designated chocolate-flavored. In milk chocolate-flavored coatings, whey powders, whey derivatives and dairy blends can be used instead of powdered milk.
So, the product is advertised as being chocolate when it is really chocolate flavored. Buyer beware, I guess. Always read before you buy.
