NOT SO SECRET HERBS AND SPICES HANGAROO 2 CODE
Code § 52 – Dissemination of false advertisements The federal code is quite general and broad in scope:ġ5 U.S. It is not clear what the injury to the consumer is if the chicken “tastes so good.” Yet, they were promised something special. If this is true, the question is whether it constitutes false advertising and a violation of consumer protection laws. Others have “reversed engineered” the recipe and come up with their own 11 herbs and spices. There are no other ingredients beyond flour, salt, MSG, and black pepper. While it was first published in 2009, I thought (since we just covered this in class) it would be interesting to post. The allegation raises interesting questions over either consumer protection or product disparagement in torts. Just four: flour, salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and black pepper. In the case of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), he did not find “eleven secret herbs and spices.” Indeed, he did not find eleven herbs and spices at all.
Colonel Sanders was accused in a book of a culinary court-martial with the release of William Poundstone’s “Big Secrets.” Poundstone looked at the claim regarding KFC’s secret ingredients (as well as claims from other companies regarding secret recipes).
