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.

I see a lot of food with Gluten-free labels having wheat flour as the first ingredient in the list.

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.
