Republicans and libertarians will be unhappy that the government is interfering in this businesses ability to label their products how ever they want.http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/03/14/1721511/fda-shuts-down-bakery/
Since diabetics could die because of the deliberate mislabeling, I think the owners should be prosecuted for attempted murder.

Sweet lovers, bakers, and assorted pastry-makers, take note: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t take kindly to companies falsifying nutritional information about their products.
In the latest chapter of the FDA’s ongoing saga with New Jersey-based Butterfly Bakery, a federal judge has “approved a consent decree of permanent injunction against” the company “for unlawfully distributing misbranded food products, such as muffins and snack cakes,” according to an FDA press release.
Butterfly Bakery has a history of openly flaunting FDA regulations with regards to their nutritional labeling, misrepresenting the sugar and fat content of their products to astonishing degrees — in fact, the FDA plainly warned the company and CEO Brenda Issac that it would face consequences if it didn’t cease its fraudulent practices.
