Food labeling laws were recently changed so that they didn't need to disclose ingredient changes if the substitutes were "like for like".
The change was in response to supply chain disruptions during covid. Processed food companies were changing recipes weekly in an effort to maintain production and product consistency, and it was impossible to keep ingredients disclosures on packaging up to date.
