more worryingly.....

pick up any processed food packet and read the label.... it normally goes something like;
Product:NO NUTS
Factory:NO NUTS
"cannot guarantee product is nut free"????????

Surely they'd be as well to write;
Product:NO PUBIC HAIRS
Factory: NO PUBIC HAIRS
"cannot guarantee product is pubic hair free"  ???

I dunno!!!  ;D

I remember when the COSHE report first came out my 1st husband was chief of a laboratory,  They gave him a list of remedies for spillage and on there was what to flush a spill of H2O with - water!

A British company is advising consumers that supermarket eggs contain eggs, via a warning statement on the inside of their egg carton.

The Happy Egg Company’s six-pack of eggs, which features the company’s name and is decorated with a picture of an egg and a cartoon chicken – contains the message ‘allergy advice: contains egg’ inside the lid of the boxes.

According to the Daily Mail, the firm blames supermarkets: “Some retailers insist on this information within their packs as part of a due diligence procedure. Any products deemed as potentially allergenic are included in this. A crazy world, but occasionally we have to do silly things to cover ourselves.”

The supermarkets denied they were responsible, but it would appear that it may be a legal requirement. Regulations in the UK require manufacturers to state on packaging if goods contain allergens, although a Government spokesman stated that the name of the product would usually suffice as reasonable warning.

The nanny state knows no bounds of stupidity
