Crazy labelling
Bags of peanuts withdrawn from sale because they forgot to tell people that..surprise surprise....they contain...Nuts!
BBC News - Store pulls monkey nuts from shelves over 'peanut warning' Okay, okay, I realise some people have an unfortunate allergy to nuts..but for gods sake...will anyone with a nut allergy mistakenly buy a bag of nuts without realising they are....erm....nuts?? :eek: I'm not sure who is at fault here, an overzealous shop manager, a stupid store labelling policy or actual EU legislation. But what next? Canteens of cutlery with labels...'warning knives and forks may be used to stab people if used incorrectly' Candles .... 'warning flame may become hot when lit' Rolling pins .... 'warning may be used incorrectly by stereotype female in rollers if spouse comes home lashed from the pub |

Asda milk cartons-in large letters MILK.
In small letters on side- ! Allergy information. Contains Milk. I'd be unhappy if it didn't! |
Re: Crazy labelling
The problem is, some people are just crazy stupid.
They think that because something with an ingredient in it`s name doesn`t mean it contains that ingredient. e.g. do chewing nuts contain nuts, no they don`t, do peanuts contain peas, again no. The industry has to be so carefull, and every effort has to be made not to be sued it`s ridiculous. |

Re: Crazy labelling
Mexican jumping beans, don`t have to be from mexico, don`t have to jump and don`t have to be beans.
It`s late and it`s makes sense to me right now. |

So some numpty with a nut allergy eats a bag of peanuts and comes with the excuse "well i ate a bag of chewing nuts and I was OK" therefore it`s there fault for not warning me that peanuts contains nut....sue.sue.sue...., well whos fault is it? You can`t blame them for being over careful. Recall product - cost of being sued? |

Re: Crazy labelling
Bought some cat treats the other day for my evil monsters. On the label was written: "New and Improved. Even More of the Chicken Flavor Your Cats Love." Don't know if the cats love 'em or not; they sure eat enough.
But how do they know what the flavor is like:confused: Do they ask a cat? Or is there some poor sod out there who is so desperate for work that he is willing to be a cat treat taster? |

Peanut is the name of a type of nut, like pecan, almond or brazil and do not need a label. Chewing nuts are a confectionery, which may or may not contain nuts and therefore should be labelled if they do. If you see a box labelled brazil nuts you would reasonably expect it to contain nuts, if you see a box labelled brazil football shirts you would not. Any lawyer worth his salt could argue that one....the worlds gone mad |
