Codex 192 and South Africa's FCD Act both require labels to clearly disclose a product's true composition — not rely on its name or shape. Since 2018, enforcement has fragmented across Health, Agriculture, the SABS and the NRCS, and local rules have increasingly let form and naming (sausage, patty, meatball) substitute for real compositional disclosure. The result: product names that often disguise, rather than reveal, what's actually inside. — Dr. Francois Mellett
