I will not stand for my food being censored!

Hate it when my food gets censored

I was at the neigh­bour­hood Cheers con­ve­nience store look­ing to get tempted to buy snack­ies when I picked up a packet of Seneca Apple Chips, turned to see the ingre­di­ents listed, in case they were made with harm­ful stuff like trans fat and fake apples, and saw the blurb describ­ing the prod­uct which was marked in places with per­ma­nent marker ink.

Think­ing it might be the ran­dom work of an Apple Chip Packet Van­dal, I picked up another packet, and it was marked the same man­ner, mak­ing me think that it might be the work of a Ser­ial Apple Chip Packet Vandal…

It is still funny even though you sorta know what word it was that was so uglily struck out. In fact, it makes me won­der who com­plained, and caused them to hastily black-mark the offend­ing word instead of recall­ing the product.

    And the offend­ing word is “Healthy” ??

    Then like that means the Apple Chips is not healthy ?

    i won­der if its a case of a mis­spelling or just a rule by the local author­ity that no snacks should be labeled as healthy.

    I have tried apple pie before but apple chips?

    That’s the first time I hear it…

    If the word is “healthy”, it makes sense coz the SG govt doesn’t allow “health claims” on snacks..something to that effect coz I was doing ads for my other food client and the SG govt is very sticky when it comes to the copy on e packaging.
