You would be
amazed at what American labels can get away with. A common thing to see at the end of the ingredients list is "Contains less than 2% of..."
This is because actually, the company is being honest. Legally, they don't have to disclose ingredients that comprise less than 2% of the final product. It could be 1.9% fucking arsenic, and they wouldn't strictly have to tell you if they chose not to.
Yes, this is hyperbole, because of course there are things which are not allowed at all, including arsenic. But there are many things less toxic than arsenic that many people wouldn't eat, if they only knew it was in there.
