I understand that the packets of meat heat sealed may have slight bubbles in them, but, it makes you wonder if there is a problem somewhere is the bubbles distort the packaging.
Was it packaged that way? Or is there something causing it to expand?

4 pack of beef burgers with 5 servers at Coles Supermarket
Shopping at Coles Supermarket I found the labelling on this packet interesting. The number at the top says it is a 4 pack of Angus Beef Burgers. And looking at the contents there are 4 beef paddies.
But under Nutrition Information it states there are 5 servers per package.
So, what does the fifth person get to eat?
Edit:
The response I got about this from ColesOnline

Whenever the U.S. Government wants to demonize a person or group in order to justify attacks on them, it follows the same playbook: it manufactures falsehoods about them, baselessly warns that they pose Grave Dangers and are severely harming our National Security, peppers all that with personality smears to render the targeted individuals repellent on a personal level, and feeds it all to the establishment American media, which then dutifully amplifies and mindlessly disseminates it all.
