THE US Food and Drug Administration has a lot on its plate - and it's not just related to medicines regulation.
The agency has attracted attention overnight after issuing a formal warning to a Massachusetts-based bakery, in relation to several matters including an ingredient listing.
The Nashoba Brook Bakery sells a particular type of breakfast cereal (or granola) and lists "Love" as one of the ingredients.
"'Love' is not a common or usual name of an ingredient, and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient," the FDA wrote.
The reprimand is among a range of issues raised by the FDA, which insists it was more concerned about matters of hygiene within the bakery.
Nashoba said it would rectify the sanitation issues, but described the FDA's approach to listing 'love' as an ingredient as "so George Orwell".
