One word on the label of an iconic Australian baked good sold at a grocery store could be an illegal act. The eight-pack of Anzac biscuits, found at a Reddit user’s local IGA store, incorrectly labels the iconic food item as cookies instead of biscuits. According to government guidelines, Anzac biscuits “must not substantially deviate from the generally accepted recipe and shape, and must be referred to as Anzac Biscuits or Anzac Slice not Anzac Cookies”.

However, it notes the biscuit’s heritage of more than 100 years means there are many variations and may include ingredients like cinnamon, mixed spice, jam and eggs. “Anzac f****** WHAT NOW?????,” one social media user said. “Cookies,” another person said. “F*** right off.” Multiple users simply said: “Straight to jail.” Commenters also pointed out that the product’s guarantee that it’s made in Australia from at least 10 per cent local ingredients may be seen as lacklustre, though not illegal.
