    “Why is the packaging the exact same”

    It isn’t? Yes, the graphics are identical, because why would Kroger bother spending money on a graphics artist to make two different packages? They don’t care.

    The ingredient list on the front is very clearly not the same and tells you exactly what’s in it.

        These two comments are incompatible. It can’t be, “they just didn’t hire another artist for a second package” as well as “deliberately misleading”.

        What makes you say it’s deliberately misleading, rather than saving money?

          It costs just about nothing to change a colour.

          Companies likely also don’t hire “artists”, they get their marketing department to do this, and those are hired anyway. Might as well put them to work.

      Maybe you carefully scrutinize each package before you buy it, making sure you’re not buying something almost identical to the other package which has different ingredients, but most people don’t have time to do that when they go shopping. And companies know it. Don’t defend deceptive practices.

      The text is bigger on the second one and the pictures arent in the same position

      Why do these small changes instead of copying one and changing the text
