I thought for a moment this was an “I didn’t have eggs” reference
Anyone who is colorblind: there is red text on the left side and black text on the right so this might be more obvious to you than others.
I guess I would add a vertical separator or just do what every sane designer is doing and maintain continuity with horizontal text across the entire line!
Or change the font styles. I guess they did, sort of, but it’s not very obvious. Like one in script, and one in Papyrus.

Weirdly it makes sense either way you read it.
In a local shop here, they have a brand which is basically called “Free of”. It’s supposed to be their brand for gluten-free and lactose-free and such. But yeah, because of the text placement on the packaging, it always reads as “Free of bread”, “Free of noodles” etc…
You should take some photos and post them here.
It’s unfortunately in German. 🫠
But well, it looks like this:
Spoiler
The “frei von” translates as “free of”.
9/10 doctors love no added apple sugar cake
Unless you are colorblind, I don’t think this is a good example. Reads just fine.
I didn’t know I was colorblind, because it got me the first time
Finally, some truth on the packaging!!
I do wonder what the legal challenge to this would look like if it did actually turn out to be a high-sugar product with no real apple in it. “It says it right on the package!”
Corporations getting consequences? Clearly not in the USA
Fuckin hate apple in my sugar cake.
Or of you found apple ink your sugar cake.
Apple ink?
On a pedantic side note here, I believe no-sugar-added products can be very high sugar as long as a sugar isn’t directly added. For example, if someone made honey-flavored ice cream, they could call it a no-sugar-added product and still load it with enough honey to make it one of the most sugary of all.
We juiced a ton of sugar cane, removed the fibre, concentrated the juices, added a bunch of flour and other stuff into it, and now we have cake! No sugar added!
Edit: I was wrong about honey. It’s included with a list of sugars, even though it’s natural.
The same is not true for fruit concentrate, however and it can be used to add sweetness to “no sugar added” products.
There is also a sneaky kind of accounting that food companies do called “net carbohydrates” that make processed foods seem to contain less sugar than they actually do, by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols. It’s a reprehensible practice.
