Producers sometimes try to shorten the length of ingredients lists by suppressing repetition. For instance the entry ''vegetable fats (palm, sunflower)'' should actually be read as two elements: ''palm vegetable fat'' and ''sunflower vegetable fat''. In this case the parentheses act as method to avoid repetition. | Producers sometimes try to shorten the length of ingredients lists by suppressing repetition.
