Do you think there'd be any surprises for the public if macros put their ingredients on the packaging ? Preservatives ? Colouring ? Flavour enhancers ?

[/quote:k7t4frl9]I'd say there would be, but it wouldn't happen. I'd be willing to bet the recipes would be changed and perfectly calibrated by market research to have the least possible impact on sales while retaining the the maximum level of profitability. That would be after extensive lobbying to create lots of short-cuts and exceptions in the legislation as it makes its way to the Statute Book.
