Warning Label

[den]

I'm munching my way through a packet of Nobby's Salted Peanuts, when I notice a warning label on the back of the packet.

"WARNING: The equipment that packed this product my have come into contact with peanuts."

While that is good to know Just In Case, I was happy to see that they felt I was adult enough to not need a warning about this product containing peanuts. I know there are people with life-threatening allergies to minute traces of peanuts and these warnings are for them but this is a packet of Salted Peanuts, ingredients salt, peanuts and vegetable oil. I think we can take it as read that the product contains peanuts and the equipment that packed it may have come into contact with said peanuts.

What I need now is a beer. Warning: may contain alcohol.

I bloody hope so.

I personally feel worried that it only "may" have come into contact with peanuts.

because that also implies that it may _not_ have come into contact with peanuts. in which case ... what the hell am I eating?

as for beer that "may" contain alcohol ... I'm quite sure I don't want to know what the amber fluid is if it isn't alcohol. god knows it smells like it anyway.

This is exactly what I was about to say. It's like when something is called "cheese product" instead of just "cheese".

I've had some "Imitation strawberry flavoured dairy drink" in Victoria. I was glad to get back to NSW so I could buy Strawberry Milk.
