Yes, often true and shrink-flation ingredients. Sometimes they want you to think it and it's also made specially for their competitors too, or a brand not sold locally but in a different country.
The USA invented the FDA so at least a reduction in dangerous adulterants, or dangerous enhancers (cocaine in Coca-Cola) to reduce the death rate.
It was a big problem with milk in 19th C. London.
Also annoying is fake local sounding brand-names in UK and Ireland. Also the SAME Northern Ireland cheese will be sold by a German supermarket in England as British, with a fake English sounding brand and in Ireland as Irish with a fake Irish sounding place name.
But Imprints are really just like "pen names" for publishers, not bought in books.
