Products 1 - 40 of 93 - Meta Description text

I just wanted to know where its getting the "Products 1 - 40 of 93" from, and can it be removed (if we wanted to)?

On the landing page say "Displaying 1 to 40 (of 93 products)", But i looked in to the source and it does not say "Products 1 - 40 of 93" anywhere, so google must be coming up with that text.

I have noticed other zen-cart sites have the same text, and other e-commence sites have something similar like " 20+ Products"

This happens quite regularly and I wouldn't worry about it too much. Some people might enjoy seeing that there are multiple products available that fit the description of what they are looking for.

All you can really do is put in a meta description and hope that Google chooses to honor it (which they often don't).

One other idea: If the text 'Products 1-40 of 93' is high on your page, perhaps you can move it to a different location. Google often uses some of the first text on the page as the meta description.

You see there is no text "Products 1-40 of 93", just "Displaying 1 to 40 (of 93 products)" so good must be able to understand that, and put it into its own format.

The "Products 1 - 40 of 93" does use up space so the meta description is shorter than normal, but to be honest I'm not too worried about it. I was asked to look into it, just to understand why its there.
