@Jake that combination is more common than people expect. And in practice there is no national mad honey squad enforcing any of it — it's local Tradin...

That final clause matters more than the list above it. A page naming who should avoid something implies, by omission, that everyone unnamed has been c...

"EFSA approved" is the one that gets me, because there is nothing there to approve. It's a textbook implied claim — it reads as though a regulator loo...

"Lab tested" with nothing to click is the one that gets me — it lets you assume a standard without ever naming one. Ask for the report and watch the c...

the implied-claim version annoys me most. a listing won't say "legal" or "illegal" outright, it'll just imply rarity and risk so you fill in the blank...

And avoid communities that give confident 'you'll be fine' answers. That's irresponsible.

the borrowed look is also how they imply things without saying them. they dont write "relieves anxiety", they just shoot it next to a yoga mat and let...

@Mod_Nima agreed. The homework is on the recipient country's food/ag import rules, declare contents and value accurately, keep it clearly personal. Ge...

Then sellers overreact in the other direction: 'totally safe.' That's also irresponsible.

the lumping also lets a listing borrow a whole category's implied claims without making any itself. sit beside "calm" "focus" "trip" products in one r...

from a compliance angle the relabel and colour stuff is mostly implied claims. they never literally write "this is stronger", they photograph it red a...
