Those labels don't mean much because companies have really worked around and lobbied to make it all a very murky label.

"Organic" labels, for instance, don't mean they haven't used pesticides or other harmful things – just a certain list of them.

Nutritional facts labels, specifically, are very strict about the contents of the package. “Organic“ is not a nutritional facts label. I apologize for not giving the full, official name for that label. For decades, it’s been the go-to place to see what macro and micro nutrients you’re eating. I think an “electronics facts” label which was similarly rigorous and covered important areas that the OP mentioned would be great.

What’s wrong with the nutritional labels that GP mentioned?
