"biodegradable". For PLA Plastics, they are only biodegradable under commercial composting environments (CNC Kitchen made a video about it). For other things, I think it is mostly the same (CBC Made a video on this too (they looked at plastic alternatives though, and the duration of their testing was a bit short))

Hypo-allergenic
There is no such technical term. It is all marketing.
Cage-free eggs. Chickens were probably still tortured and crammed on top of each other in a barn. Look for certified humane.
Edit: himane to humane. Spell check refuses to let me make the typo intentionally, but let it slip through the initial post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Trying to verify a chicken's hymen is 1.) archaic, 2.) unscientific, and 3.) not your business.

15 minutes could save you 15% or more. Not will, could. We already knew that it had to be either greater than, less than, or equal to 15% because that covers everything
"AI increases productivity"
Made with 100% chicken breast.
The chicken in this product is 95% scraping from carcasses, connective tissue and skin. But the 5% of it that's actually breast meat is 100% chicken breast meat.

Anything you can think of if there isn't a law that says they can't. One big one for me is expiration dates. Aside from, say, milk, they really don't mean much.

Organic. Lol.
There are regulations around what you can call organic. Any issue you have here is probably more geared towards the laws themselves.

Organic is technically everything in the living world. The marketing version of organic is just that, marketing. There may be some regulations, but the devil is always in the details.
This all leads to conundrums like organic farmers shunning organic pesticides. It really is nonsensical.

"Sugar free" on things that are mostly sugar because the serving size given isn't great enough to overcome a rounding down to zero.
