When buying pre-packed cuts of meat, why do they put the cooking instructions on the underside of the label so you can't read them until you open the pack?

RMG, that's just because they want you to get all the way home before you discover that you need another ingredient to cook it! If it's a well known discount store, they can sell you the gas to go back again to their store.

Just open the pack next to it in the fridge and read those
If enough people did that they might get the message and move them lol

More frustrating is assuming the cooking temperature and time will be under the label then opening at home to find it isn't there.

They assume you will cook the meat until it's done.
Very few meats that I buy prepackaged come with instructions except to say wash up before and after handling.
