Organic
I hate the use of this term by the food industry. Bitch it's all organic.
Except for the salt.

Labeling that says “Made with xxxxx” for example “Made with 100% all white chicken!” ‘WITH’ is the key word here. The item might be only 3% chicken and 97% other junk, but that 3% of chicken is 100% all white! This isnt just food items, could be cleaning supplies, or a lot of other things too. ‘Made of xxxx’ could be better, or ‘Made 100% with/of’….
The one that gets me is the cat treats that list their flavors as "With Chicken." Like, that's the back half of the sentence, where's the front half?

I cry everytime
I can't see this product without thinking of astronaut Chris Hadfield. He tells a story of going blind in space, because they apply a surfactant to the inside of the EVA helmet as an anti-fog coating, it's basically a mix of oil and soap. And a drop of it got in his eye, while in a spacewalk, it stung and his eye slammed shut and began to tear up, and because zero g, tears don't fall, so it just pooled in his eye socket until there was enough tears for it to spill over the bridge of his nose into the other eye.
"Now we use Johnson's No More Tears, Which is what we should have been using from the beginning."
Spraying it into my eyeballs in tears YOU BASTARDS
Cage-free eggs. Chickens were probably still tortured and crammed on top of each other in a barn. Look for certified humane.
Edit: himane to humane. Spell check refuses to let me make the typo intentionally, but let it slip through the initial post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trying to verify a chicken's hymen is 1.) archaic, 2.) unscientific, and 3.) not your business.

"Sugar free" on things that are mostly sugar because the serving size given isn't great enough to overcome a rounding down to zero.

"No E-numbers". They are correct. I looked through the food inside and there was not a single number anywhere.
Not really a blatant lie but more pandering to the scary unknowns of a standardisation of specifying the ingredients.
Made with 100% chicken breast.
The chicken in this product is 95% scraping from carcasses, connective tissue and skin. But the 5% of it that's actually breast meat is 100% chicken breast meat.

"Keto friendly". There's a guy on YouTube who shows the effects of different foods on his blood sugar, and one brand of supposedly "keto" tortillas had almost the same effect as white bread.
Just compare the ingredients.
I saw a TikTok of a guy saying that eggs have a code on the carton stating what farm they were from. The guy went to a grocery store and nearly every carton had the same code, regardless of advertising free-range, or no hormones.
Note: I did not verify if this was true but it wouldn’t surprise me.

"Natural", because there's no legal definition of it (at least, from my research in American law).
