The real story here may be the health code violations, but I have to say, whining because the FDA told you to stop being cute with your ingredients list is pretty shitty too. On the more minor note, the products may indeed be made with love. They may also be made with bowls, mixers, ovens, and a whole host of other things. These are methods of preparation, not ingredients.
The non-pedantic, and thus more major issue, is that it’s the god damn ingredients section. It’s important. Some people rely on it. Even if your addition is harmless, just don’t fuck around with the ingredients section. The fact that people thought it was okay to play with the ingredients section tells me they aren’t taking food safety and proper labeling seriously, and the fact that they were apparently mixing products that were sold as “non-dairy” in a bowl with bits of pepper-jack stuck to the edges indicates that this is, indeed, the case.
