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 think the line is where the product is _meant_ to contain peanuts, at which point you say, "WARNING: contains peanuts" and omit the "WARNING: the equipment which packed this may at some time in some dimension have seen a peanut, or something resembling a peanut; we're kind of uncertain". :P
