The application of the principle is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
fails to address the possibility that consumers of a specific food may not be representative of consumers of food in general
fails to address the possibility that the genetically engineered ingredients in Crackly Crisps may have been proven safe for human consumption
implicitly makes use of a value judgment that is incompatible with the principle being applied
takes for granted that if most consumers of a product would buy it even if they knew several of the ingredients in it, then they would buy the product even if they knew all the ingredients in it
confuses a claim that under certain conditions a certain action should be taken with a claim that the action need not be taken in the absence of those conditions
