They had one on the pork sausages (it wasn't the breadcrumbs that worried me, it was the bits and pieces of pig that no-one wants to eat). They also had one on "low-fat" and "fat-free." Guess what? They can say fat-free and load it with sugar! Which is what most of them do with biscuits, etc. Yeah, they’ve been having inserts on “The F Word” (Gordon Ramsay, BBC Food, Monday 20h00).

For example, in the UK, the can lable Pork Sausages as '100% Pork' as long as all the pork in the sausage is 100% Pork. What that means in practice is that your '100% Pork Sausage' may only have (and often does only have) 5% actual Pork in it. All the rest is breadcrumbs.
