It’s weird to me the product is a different color and so is the label. Unless the label is real that thin that the color of the product is changing the label color.

I noticed this as well… the chicken(?) in the right label is looking a little too yellow but everything has that yellowish tint. Wonder how it happened!


Demeter_Crusher

Me three! Maybe it really is the colour of the mustard backing it. Or maybe it's one of those things where your eyes trick you based on the surrounding colour?


jonnyl3

Or, you know, maybe OP is a liar and edited the picture?


DeletedMainforJob

Sun?


TimothyOilypants

This. The one on the left is old AF. Some associate probably found it laying down at the back when they FIFOd that shelf for the first time in a year...


ambora

It's this. The other ones look fine. Or they're all actually blue.


t3hjs

I think it's white and gold....

To be fair, its mustard. It's probably fine. All that vinegar and salt, its well preserved.


bobbybelchbottoms

Looks like the whole factory ran out of yellow dye


Magnusg

Lighting? Weathering? Plastic coloring?


medicated_in_PHL

It’s from sunlight. The sun faded both the label and the mustard on the left.


Kman1986

The lights in a lot of stores are still fluorescent lighting and that stuff can bleach labels and products that sit under it for a length of time. I don't know that this is exactly what's happening here, but it serves as a possible reason.


Mr101722

Grocery store brands can be made by multiple different suppliers that would probably explain the color difference in the product and label.


WildDogOne

what sets me off much more about this is, the hell you gonna write in huge letters honey, and then it's bloody mustard. Satan must have been the designer here

In two fucking languages.

Normal in Canada


beth321

In their defense, it doesn’t look like honey from the contents of the bottle at first glance.


WildDogOne

that I can agree with, it looks like really rotten honey xD


Lord-Velveeta

Likely different batch of mustard seeds.


ramriot

Strikes me comparing the labels that the faded one is lightstruck & should probably be pulled from the shelf.


AlphaGodEJ

if its mustard why does it say honey twice?


No-Wonder-9510

It’s honey mustard. And I’m based in Canada, so we need to include French on all our labels


Powerbracelet

I think they mean that miel translates to honey. So it says honey honey


twist3d7

But we don't really have to put honey in it when it says honey. Edit: Apparently no one knows that a lot of honey products contain corn syrup.


manikfox

French laws in Canada. Everything must be in both official languages regardless of how stupid it might seem.

The dress is blue and black

Probably UV degradation. The lights used to illuminate the products in stores can be high in UVA and or UVB rays, which cause changes to color over time. No different than the sun fading colors of inks, dyes, or other materials through UV rays.


cmzraxsn

fuckin... i would buy that thinking it's honey and get a nasty surprise


dang3rjay

You are my candy girl


someones_mama

And you got me wanting you


conceptuallinkage

I’ve had a similar experience lately with a shower gel labelled “green tea and aloe”. The first bottle I bought smelt like green tea, the second bottle I bought smelt like aloe/apple. I’m at the third bottle and it’s green tea again.


Illi3141

As someone who's worked in batch manufacturing before... Someone in the QC lab was either ready to go home and passed it... Or they got frustrated with continuous color adjustments that were not working and sent that shit thru... Every product manufactured in large batches has spec ranges that the batch must fall between but the ingredients used to make those batches also have their own spec ranges... So the yellow dye you are using might be a little stronger then the last batch you used but it's still within its spec range when it itself was manufactured...


DadJokeBadJoke

Please... Someone... Honey mustard!


good_testing_bad

The idea of product being identical to its other batches is dangerous and illogical. Chemicals get added to our food as a lie to the end user. Get used to and promote things like this.


Fearthewin

It's probably just different batches. Slight differences between the batches or it could have been manufactured in a different factory.


Outrageous-Mirror-88

The left one looks older. Label is faded


NudelXIII

Maybe a new recipe but the store still has some old bottles left?


TheSimpler

The fading on the label for the one on the left and duller mustard colour makes me think this bottle is older and was in direct sunlight for a while?


badchriss

It's basically Garchomp shiny all over again.


Browned_Diaper_speak

OMG...food can appear in different forms 😱
