Why would you think that? If I read renewed, I would think that itβs some BS marketing, since there was no verifiable claim made.
From the article, this example almost seems as if there was a deception. They claim their product is "renewed" but in reality all they have done is lessen how much you get. If I read renewed I would think they have changed the formula of their food, hopefully for the better, and that is why I am receiving less of their product. The fact is, nothing was changed, there is no renewed product and I am being sold less for more. Yes the price is still listed and I can make a decision as to if I buy it or not but be honest in this situation the company putting "renewed" on the packaging is hoping you believe they have improved their formula.
