Anyone who is colorblind: there is red text on the left side and black text on the right so this might be more obvious to you than others.
I guess I would add a vertical separator or just do what every sane designer is doing and maintain continuity with horizontal text across the entire line!
Or change the font styles. I guess they did, sort of, but it's not very obvious. Like one in script, and one in Papyrus.

about / on
not / different
putting / lines?

Finally, some truth on the packaging!!
In a local shop here, they have a brand which is basically called "Free of". It's supposed to be their brand for gluten-free and lactose-free and such. But yeah, because of the text placement on the packaging, it always reads as "Free of bread", "Free of noodles" etc..
You should take some photos and post them here.

But well, it looks like this:

The "frei von" translates as "free of".
Weirdly it makes sense either way you read it.

Unless you are colorblind, I don't think this is a good example. Reads just fine.
I didn't know I was colorblind, because it got me the first time
