Now this is properly misleading packaging.

Looks like a good-sized pack of chicken bits - compares well to similar options at the same price point…

…but what’s that in faint type in the “Plum Sauce packets included” call-out? Might be something important…

…yup, ~200g of sugar glue. But surely that can’t mean that…

Yup. Just 75% of that package was the product you actually wanted (and paid a premium for).

@Pintysfoods this may be legal, but it’s dishonest. Please change your packaging to reflect the weight of the chicken in the pack rather than hiding the weight of the gloop.

@loblawco this is on you, too. Drop this product until the manufacturer stops misleading your customers.

Absent that, please change the listing to provide an honest comparison with other SKUs. Weight should be shown as 610g (at best).

Update: the chicken was poor, the sauce was like worse.

All in all a complete disappointment.
