Bought a 600g packet of jumbo peanuts & raisins and it has a warning on the packet saying that this products may contain nuts. Well, I should hope it does or I might as well just bought a packet of raisins. :dry:
I know some people have allergic reactions to nuts and they need to tell them in certain foods that there may be traces of nuts in there product, but surely if you are allergic to nuts you would not buy a packet of them would you? :unsure:
there used to be a warning on the milk cartons from supermarkets stating this product contains milk:whistling:nono:
I'm sure we've done this before....I bought a box of Nytol...it stated it may cause drowsiness!;)
Yup, this has definately been done before, and I'm sure I've said before that a peanut is a pea and not a nut therefore the labelling of 'may contain nuts' is quite correct.
Ok Mr. Smart Arse - if they actually are peas, shouldn't we have 'may contain peas' labels for people who are allergic to peas instead :p
Should say 'May contain stuff' That should cover anyone allergic to anything.
they are legumes :whistling Peas are also legumes and so are beans.Quote:

And did it? Surely it should say "Will cause drowsiness" or what's the point of buying it?Quote:

The word pea describes the edible seeds of many other legumes in the Fabaceae family, and in that sense, a peanut is a kind of pea.

As of November 2005 it became European law that foods containing any amount of the following 14 ingredients must be labelled as such.
The actual amount could be 1% or 100% (as in a bag of nuts), its just a tick box excercise by the manufacturers even though they probably think it daft too.
- celery
- cereals containing gluten (wheat, barley, rye and oats)
- crustaceans (such as lobster and crab)
- eggs
- fish
- lupin
- milk
- molluscs (such as mussels and oysters)
- mustard
- nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts)
- peanuts
- sesame seeds
- soybeans
- sulphur dioxide and sulphites (preservatives used in some foods and drinks) at levels above 10mg per kg or per litre
