Nobody, I am sure Ian will report back his findings.

  It's still a mistake.
  Who sets out to deliberately make a mistake?

    I think I would put it down to an error of the person labelling not being 
familiar with the language of Braille and putting wrong labels on the produce 
rather than a deliberate breach of any Act on the part of the company.

      As a point of interest I wonder if Braille  mislabelling could count as 
being breach of the trades descriptions act?

          As some of you know I was recently asked to write a piece for the 
Guardian on Braille and hopes for the future.  In that piece I mentioned that 
The co-Op labels many, though not all of its own brand lines in Braille. Today, 
however, I found a discrepancy between the print and Braille packaging.  I 
bought a pack of Co-Op bran flakes.  Thankfully I don't have to rely solely on 
the Braille to identify products because the Braille said that the pack 
contained Golden Honey Nut Corn flakes.  I'll have to go back and determine 
weather all of the packs are labelled wrongly in Braille.  ** To leave the
