How do products have ‘secret recipes’ if they need to disclose the contents on the packaging?
In:
A recipe is also amounts and procedures and not just the ingredients. I do find it odd that they can say “Spices…” and get away with that though. Companies are certainly free to try and reverse engineer things, but that can be very hard to get it right.
A company can also patent their product and get legal protections for a number of years, however they have to disclose the exact process for making the product which is then up for grabs when the patent expires A secret recipe, like Coca-Cola, is just a closely guarded secret and if someone discovers it then they can do what they want with it.
