Since 2016 the 'suitable for diabetics' labelling used in the UK has been removed, and food is no longer permitted to be labelled as such.

So, here in the UK at least, we shouldn't have any confusing labels on the shelves.
OF course canny marketing can always use similar words and spellings to imply things, but I guess this is where we need to be canny customers
I just try and avoid processed foods for the most part, and when I do eat processed, I scrutinise the label.
Incidently, DIY, delicious nutella-type spreads are surprisingly easy to make, and they can be low carb, too.
