I always read food labels. Ingredients are supposed to be listed from the largest to the smallest. It seems to me these are often not listed in order so as to trick the consumer

To trick the consumer? Good grief, what a bunch of hooey. On a product label, the ingredients are listed in order of predominance. If they are not in the proper order then the manufacturer is subject to massive fines and will labor in the future under the FDA microscope. No manufacturer in their right mind wants that. Ingredient labeling is tightly regulated and manufacturers bend over backward to ensure they are correct. As usual, you're wrong.
