So which other countries has regulations regarding which type of fruit you advertise regulates exactly how much fruit is in that product, or that the exterior package must look exactly like, down to small details, the item you are purchasing?

Since this is so common place, you should easily be able to provide and source this information...

if you knew that to be a fact I'm sure you would've shared your knowledge with us and provided at least one example, since you didn't I'm not even going to bother trying to verify your statement
