In these times of political uncertainty, changing weather patterns, and growing global insecurity, it's good to know that one thing you can always rely on in this increasingly crazy world is food. Right? Wrong! Because as you can see from the pictures below, you can't even trust that anymore. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list contains some truly shocking examples of how food continues to betray us hungry humans on a daily basis. No wonder we don't know who or what to believe anymore! Don't forget to vote for the most outrageous offender.

That is just... It says +Calcium!!!!! Yet there is 0%??? Since milk has Calcium, there is 0% calcium which means there is no milk in it, but to get chocolate you need milk, so that means that this is a weir alien substance!!
If anything ever says fortified it's just means they have messed with it so much that they had to add vitamins etc back in cos it's sooooo unhealthy. It's a stranger danger food
It says you need to add milk.... so that's adding milk. Which is is same as +calcium if you're being technical about it. Same thing.
The percentage is not a percentage by volume, it's a percentage of the percentage daily value (aka recommended daily intake), presumably rounded down, which becomes zero. If you see that the zinc value is 10%, you wouldn't want to eat something which is 10% zinc by volume! Still, you might expect them not to round it quite so severely, to the point where the number becomes meaningless.
*too many instances of 'percentage' after the comma in that first line, sorry!

I think most are packaged like this for easier eating. Just depends what's inside. Normally 1 is ok but 2nd one has no sauce in it and only some cheap lettuce etc

Frankly, it is good that the European Union has regulations in this regard. Often they arw ovee thw top, but all those cases that are not obviously production errors (like the one ravioli) would lead to rhe companiea getting trouble with the authorities.
Oops, sorry for typos. Also a case for the authorities...

I thought it was common knowledge in this day and age that there is only like a 1% chance of ever getting what is portrayed in a picture. And what crazy person would ever expect a $5 frozen entree to look like a freshly prepared meal from a 5 star restaurant at $50 or more a course?
Many of these are just blatant false product displays, not allowed in many other countries. Time the USA had a revolution for something better for it's people.

#56 I actually a foot long...Just turn it upside down and then measure...This was actually on a video on YouTube where the guy goes to the store and asks for a foot long then measures it to be 11" so he ask for refund of 1" price or a 1" sub then after some laughs and all he shows it to the store people that on measuring it upside down it is actually a foot long sub.
#182 was not a food lie. The picture on the package 100% matches what was inside.
As we are customers we have to fight for our rights - You got not the same what you ordered in the restaurants? Just say they have to prepare one more or you will not pay. You bought something and got something completely different? Try to get your money back showing them pictures or just do not buy this brand again. Not selling will push them to change policy of preparing products. It is our fault that it is like that. You know that this company is cheating on the nuts in cereals? Why you are still buying this?

Ok, apart from some countries clearly needing stricter regulations, I find two things about this post really shocking: First, the insane amount of packaging for cheap c**p and second, that people are actually willing to eat that industrial waste.
I am so confused by most of these, this would not be possible in Australia unless just an error. But i feel like i have been lied to more in movies and tv shows about factories and how things come off the production line, because you see them sorting, picking out the bad etc...so how in the world would a pizza be missing so much topping, and how in the world is there such obvious criminal type shenanigans going on with fillings and packaging ?
People sue companies when they put their cats into the owen but not when said companies actually really f**k them over?
