This is like complaining that they changed the ink to print the labels with.
My biggest problem is that they're claiming it's edible and acting like it's nothing. Like who are you to make that claim? Are you a toxicologist or a biochemist? Have you done ten years of medical studies into the effects of ingesting semiconductors? Got DOI link to a peer reviewed paper to support it being classed as edible? It's "edible till someone dies eating it" as usual with these things. The food industry's claims of "edible" and "safe" additives have been proven wrong far too many times (while knowing they were wrong to begin with and intentionally covering up that fact) to be trusted ever again. Just put a shiny RFID sticker on the outside that's clear to the consumer that it needs to be removed and honestly it would be far less problematic, what's even the point of hiding it inside?
It's in the EU. There are rules about what's allowed to be put in food.
Also don't bother replying. I don't like your pointless combativeness. Have fun with your blood pressure.
