Also, provolone comes smoked and not smoked. Why anyone would buy the not smoked one, I don’t know, but it is a thing. Should it be? I dunno. Blue cheese is a thing…
Eh, I’ll give them a pass. You can’t tell just by looking at it so it makes sense to mark “Smoked” vs. “Not Smoked” otherwise people are going to ask… “Is this smoked?”

Smoking something will make it mildly carcinogenic, and I imagine that some people might object to that. Probably also someone out there with food allergies.
IIRC the carcinogenicity is only true with meats, and that for example liquid smoke added to a vegetable based dish or veggies smoked in a smoker haven’t been found to be carcinogenic. I don’t blame anyone avoiding it out of caution, everyone has their own risk tolerance.
Shopping at the Shitty Kitty? Not likely.

Because it overwhelms other flavors.
I’m not putting smoked provolone on a cheese steak - you won’t taste anything else.
It’s not about that it comes in both options. It’s that they felt the need to label this one by what it wasn’t.

Yeah, like sweet and unsweet or salted and unsalted.
Yup, like butter. Salted vs. Unsalted. You need both for different purposes, but just looking at it, no way to know.

It’s the law! Which does lead to the question of why it’s the law, but it at least explains why they labeled it that way.
Usually if a product label is weird, it’s either required by law or skirting a law. Doubly so for food products.
Fun fact, the little window on the back of bacon packages is also required by law.
Regulate!

Because all I taste when eating anything “smoked” are ashes. I don’t know why people pay to eat ashes, but I’m certainly not gonna.
Oh, you gonna.
I prefer non smoked.
ETA- i don’t love cheese. When i do have it i prefer more mild flavors.
Why do you add an Estimated Time of Arrival, but then not give a time?
