Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm taking a short break from cooking, but I'll be back at it soon.
If you're still looking for recipes, here are a few:
I recently bought a small succulent plant from Lowe's. However, it isn't immediately clear from the receipt that this was a plant:

Mislabeled bread a danger, allergists say
Another case of mislabeled food. Kamut and spelt are both varieties of wheat, but the French Meadow Bakery was labeling breads made with these grains as "wheat-free".

Today, I bought two items that I thought were free of garlic. One item was "Organic Mixed Party Olives" produced by Mediterranean Organic which lists "Organic Olives, Water, Organic Red Peppers, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Red Wine Vinegar, Sea Salt" as the ingredients. Looking closely at the jar, however, it is obvious that there are various herbs and spices in the jar. Other text on the label suggests that garlic may be included, but none of this is listed on the ingredient list.
The other item was from the deli at Lakewinds Natural Foods in Chanhassen, MN. The ingredient list on the sign and the label printed was "Kale, sesame oil, and sesame seeds." Once we tasted it at home, it was obvious that there is a fourth ingredient: garlic.
So that's two items in one night with incomplete ingredient lists. How many other items have we bought with incorrect or incomplete ingredient lists? How do we know which ones are correct and which ones aren't?
