Absolutely OK. If "something something X" is the name of your product, it needs to contain X to a certain degree. If there was no strawberry in strawberry jam, you would complain. If there was no cinnamon in a cinnamon bun, this would be wrong, too.

The term "Vegan Chicken Chips" for a product that does not contain chicken is simply like "Apple Sauce" without apples.

How much butter is in peanut butter?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Or in Shea butter, yes.

That's why it shouldn't be called peanut butter anyways. Let's name it something logical like peanut cheese (pindakaas)

There aren't even any nuts in it! It's all a lie!
