With the comments about "fighting plaque like leading brands", I'm actually curious whether this is legal. I believe the active ingredients disclosure box is mandatory, although possibly it's on the face of the box we can't see.

I see that the toothpaste is legal (white-labelled from an approved factory), so this is just a labelling question.

From a comment[1] elsewhere in thread, looks like they removed fluoride to avoid higher FDA scrutiny. Not sure what that means for labeling.

That may well be the only 'active' ingredient in some toothpastes, since the rest is mostly just a scrubbing aid.
