But that's not what happened. They posted the doctored image on Facebook and hundreds of people called them out on it. Then, without investigating, their response was to gaslight people, saying "The packaging is most likely foreign, and it is possible that whoever made the packaging used AI to make a clearly knock-off package" (they denied it in two separate posts).
