Claim 3: “supply instability in printing ink, made using petrochemical materials”
CORROBORATED
While the specific 'Evidence for claim 3' section contains irrelevant dictionary definitions, the evidence provided for Claim 2 explicitly states that Calbee's packaging change is because 'supplies of an ingredient used in ink have been disrupted by the Iran war.' This confirms the supply instability in printing ink linked to the geopolitical situation.
