Tesco has issued an advert. for some Free-From (undesirable
ingredients) Easter treats. Only, they actually wrote:
"Free From Easter treats", which to me says that Easter with Tesco will
be free of any Easter Treats. Not quite what they meant, but it's what
they wrote.

Mistakes like that lead to chaos in engineering or computing.

My missis once caused confusion at a Screwfix counter over a
misunderstanding of similar sounding words. She grows and shows
vegetables and one of her fellow gardeners advised her on a technique to
grow Leeks from seedlings in sleeves and the more rigid pipe insulation of
adequate bore an easily obtained sleeve material so a click and collect
order was placed.
She was collecting the lengths and someone she knew happened to be behind
and enquired what he lagging was for “for the Leeks “ she said at which
point the assistant overhearing and trying to be helpful said “ excuse me
but this product isn’t any good for leaks. The Missis not being on the
same wavelength as the assistant she continued “Well I’ve been told by a
friend it works fine and he won prizes for his Leeks. At that point the
assistant just handed over the goods looking baffled.

It can't have the meaning you suggest, because both Free & From
are capitalised making it clear that it is some form of branding.

Well...
The website
https://thegoodnessproject.co.uk/blog/what-are-free-from-foodsinterestingly
says that there is no actual definition of Free-From, and it uses the
hyphenated form throughout, which Tesco did not. So I disagree that the
Tesco 'Free From' indicates some sort of branding, there is none
involved.

I feel the same if an ad has people dancing, but I usually record most
stuff to fast-forward the ads, which generally last 4 minutes, and voice
control sorts that out for me.

I think I will remember the name 'Tesco' with or without this
particular spot of advertising. And if they can't get basic grammar
right, what else might they be getting wrong?

The name may be remembered,but if it no longer exists, what's the point?
How many of these have you heard of?

I don't think it makes it clear at all.
Choices of what to capitalise (and to place capitals within 'words')
seems entirely random these days

Inverted commas around the brand name would definitely help in prose,
though whether that is a good idea in an advertising strapline is
another matter.

I used to work in a supermarket. The store was undergoing extending to
become a hypermarket

There was a weekly staff poster announcing what new product ranges and
aisles were goign to open.

One week I saw the annoucement of:

New! Glutton Free aisle opening on Monday 1st May

I had visions of the aisle being a few centimetres wide......

True, but doesn't "organic" as used on food labels have a specific
definition different from just the basic "natural"? Specifically that
it's _only_ organic with no synthetic components, even if those
components might be recognised by an organic chemist, and produced only
by certain processes.

Although oddly, some of the chemicals that are permitted on organic
crops are what a chemist would call inorganic.

Suspect these days it's mainly a marketing trick though.

Strictly, organic means "made with carbon" - which includes oil. The use of
the word "organic" for food created a certain way is just theft of a term
which had a perfectly good well-understood meaning previously.

Thus, any food is organic.

[re: your last sentence] Exactly. As a friend of mine said to me recently --
interrupting my fulminating about "people" buying "stuff" [that, in most
cases, they cannot afford]:

"But John! These days it's ALL about marketing, and nothing but! Forget
quality. Forget "can't afford". Forget any personal judgement at all! The
whole human race is now run by Marketing!"

In that context "Organic Water" is perfectly acceptable ... in a Trumpian
sense.

I think it was just water in drinking quality (i.e. the usual minerals, no more
that XYZ unwanted stuff) with extra adjectives and poetic description: "Finest
Water brought to you from Himalayan Springs where it gladly runs downhill".
