EATRIGHT® OAT & (Pinot Noir grape skin) Cookie
65% less total sugar than an average cookie, no added refined sugar, high in dietary fiber. This cookie was referred to, by others, as the commercialized "clever cookie" for good reason ... it was a yummy combination of OATS, water lessened grapes (EC 3.4.21.92 Endopeptidase caseinolytic protease Clp) and spices. It was low in sugar - tasted great with a low glycaemic index/load. And despite disinformation, oats "quite safe...now recommend that oats can be eaten in moderation. This has made the life of a coeliac subject much easier” (ref: “Coeliac Dis Info-1” pub. 29Apr02) a summary of Gastroenterol Hepatol 2000 Sep;15(9):1032-6 Adult coeliac disease: prevalence and clinical significance by Cook HB, Burt MJ, Collett JA, Whitehead MR, Frampton CM, Chapman BA, Department of Gastroenterology, Christchurch Hospital and Christchurch School of Medicine, New Zealand.
Among others, it is a source of amylopectin (clinicial trial NCT01708694 “Role of Slowly Digestible [“Resistant”] Starch on Diabetes Risk Factors”). Where “average: 10 – 15 years and $944 million – 2.8 billion USD, 60% R&D cost of failure” (ref: Figure 26 on the stages and costs associated with bringing a bioactive compound onto the pharmaceutical market; Source: Cawthron Institute (2022) p112 World Bank Report 16Aug23).
In addition to "New Zealand’s long history of oat production", work also commenced on the use of Marlborough grape skins from "increase biomass long lived vine crop" (ref: the Coriolis Report pub. Jun23). The skins, a byproduct or waste-stream of supplement sector grape seed extract (the extract containing "twice the level of polyphenolic antioxidant compounds compared to grapes grown outside of New Zealand" ref: New Zealand Story Key Messages – Natural Health Products Sector)…replacement of imported seedless sultanas. This would have added additional value and a country specific "geographical indicator" (NZ GI # 1004) to an evolving "good growth platform for NEW ZEALAND" 24/26 nutraceutical product. For instance, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grape skins work undertaken in 2008 (c/- 88.3% water, 12% alcohol wine ref: FCDB B1021), Marlborough Pinot Noir grape skins work undertaken in 2018 (c/- 86.9% water, 13.5% alcohol wine ref: FCDB B1028) and phytochemicals with biological activities (ie wine grape "fruit" less "fruit juice" less "seed") equal 99 including 45 non-ubiquitous (ref: USDA Phytochemical Databases…). Or, in other words, too many phyto actives to name in "isolation" so "broad" but "characterizing ingredients" are used.
Hence, even though Eat Right Foods Ltd has incorporated numerous "novel treatments", "scaling insurgency" [L surgo rise] to the market more efficiently (see eg “concerns about the nutritional adequacy of the GFD [gluten free diet], both in terms of what it may lack (fiber and adequate amounts of micronutrients) and what it may contain” [additives, preservatives, GMO’s] and Table 2.13: Novel treatment targets and proposed interventions in "The Recognition, Diagnosis, and Management of Coeliac Disease in New Zealand" by KM Kenrick (pub. Dec18)), a customer is more likely to purchase from the [monopoly, oligopoly] in order to obtain the benefit of the tied & bundled discount that applies to the incontestable “essential” services. Yet tiny amounts are invested in "antitrust enforcement, even though evidence shows it increases productivity" (ref: Tommaso Valletti, Apr24).

Are you referring to your grocery package or you deli package (Clam shell)" email from "(CE CEN)" (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 26 id 9) [not: "Shell" Robinson[-Patman label printing] or dkt 38 GS1.org (including "Competition Law Caution").

It was put onto shelves, able to be scanned by numerous independently owned organic stores throughout New Zealand, within days of its Jul'05 availability. But, in order for it to be loaded into entrenched duopoloy supermarket systems, it had to wait for ANNUAL category ranging and needed to replace an existing product...a never nimble ("a. (-er, -est, -bly). Agile, swift; (of mind &c.) quick, clever [obsolete nim take]") process.
In the USA, for other cookie products, the "ACTION CODE: R" (reduce) took over a year to fix in the "BAKERY/COFFEE TEAMS: ALWAYS CHECK IN WITH YOUR SIGNMAKER REGARDING WHICH SIGNS YOU WILL NEED" (email 23/2/10). Where "prior to March 2009 our wholesale price was [US]$4.50 and your retail price was [US]$9.49 ie a gross margin of 52.58%. Our wholesale price to you since March 2009 has been [US]$3.50 and now the retail price has been reduced to $8.49 ie a gross margin of 58.78%". The request for further "reducing our retail prices to $7.38 ie a gross margin of 52.58%" (2/3/10) was completely IGNORED. "ignore, v.t. Refuse to take notice of; (of Grand Jury) reject (bill). [IN⁻², L gno- know]; oppugn v.t. Controvert, not admit" (ref: Dictionary, Oxford, Pocket, edition 4). And "Allegro Coffee Company" (2:13-cv-02174 dkt 27-2) was yet another example of “growth by acquisition" [ref: United States v. Philadelphia Nat. Bank, 374 U.S. 321, 370, 83 S.Ct. 1715, 1745 (1963)].
But there were, and still are, other pricing tactics that go under the radar. For example, reductions in pack sizes or reductions in "COUNT" with the appearance of price control where a disCOUNT is considered a set-off or detractor of acCOUNTable advantages [“extended an offer but we have never received a COUNTer” ref: 2:13-cv-02174 mediation letter Mar15]. In this instance, "PLU 69989", FDC ID 333008, NDB # 100192, "10oz (283g)", "6 count", "serving size 1 ea" [47.2g per serve], added flour "enrichments", 3.3% total dietary fiber, "contains a bioengineered food ingredient", added salt and 8.85% added water. Compare this to EATRIGHT® "10.6oz (300g)", a "12 count", "serving size 25g [0.9oz]", no added "enrichment", 7.8% total dietary fiber, no bioengineered ingredients, no added salt, no added water, significant source of vitamin K2 and others yet to be calculated.
