I'm sick of seeing warnings on every single packet of food:
'Warning, may contain traces of nuts'.
'Warning- this product is packaged in a factory that uses nuts'.
The only food you don't see it on is fucking nuts. Actually, that's not right. They even put a notice on bags of nuts, warning that it contained nuts. It must have been a publicity stunt because it got a lot of column inches in the national press. You just can't buy that much publicity. They are either very clever marketing people, or just plain fucking stupid product labellers.
Thank Christ I don't have a nut allergy. I'd have starved to death by now, avoiding all the stuff that 'may' contain 'traces' of nuts.
Which brings us around to fear of being sued, and the creeping culture of compensation......but that's another rant.
Stay tuned
