How to handle http status codes in python flask routes

Question

Currently, responses from the database for empty sets include HTTP codes that might suggest to user's there is an error retrieving data that might be there.

Here are two examples:

@app.route("/api/products", methods=["GET"])
def get_products():
    offset = request.args['offset']
    limit = request.args['limit']
    products = Product.query.order_by(
        Product.post_date.desc()).offset(offset).limit(limit)
    products_serialized = []
    for product in products:
        products_serialized.append(product.serialize())
    if products:
        return jsonify(products=products_serialized)

    return jsonify(error=True), 403


@app.route("/api/user", methods=["GET"])
@requires_auth
def get_user():
    return jsonify(result=g.current_user)

I'm open for any other suggestions to handle this.
