Judging a meal by it's box.......

Posted by Helen in ,

Today -- I totally stepped out of the box...well not really, but with all the time on my hands I thought I would do a little discovering and research. Now, I normally don't eat frozen dinners unless I am in hurry or my other options available are crap....

But I read an article in the paper yesterday about how frozen dinners do their consumers wrong by not matching up what appears to be on the cover of the box thus not giving a true and honest representation of what is really in the box, kinda like in real life....but anyways.....I really think is wrong. I believe it is not OK for companies to package their products in depictions that clearly do not represent the contents. So I thought I would take matters into my own hands and do a little investigating for myself.

Let me illustrate my findings if you will:


Exhibit A (I counted 5 shrimp on the box) That does not go to say that there were not some hiding underneath. Benefit of the doubt needs to be considered.


Exhibit B (Counted 6 and 1/2 shrimp)


Conclusion:

As you can see, the shrimp content does match the depiction, and in fact went beyond expectations, however, I do believe that this company must work on re-shooting its packaging photography to more accurately reflect what's inside as mine clearly does not look anything like what is on the box -- so disappointed.
