I have a young nephew who is severely allergic to dairy products. When I'm shopping for him, I truly appreciate the products that display allergen warnings on their labels. This morning, however, I got a kick out of one.
I bought a can of mixed nuts earlier this week (good carbs for my diet!) and just happened to glance at the back of it as I was opening it. "Allergy Warning -- Contains: Peanut, Almond, Cashew, Brazil Nut, Hazelnut, Pecan." Really? My can of nuts contains...nuts? Color me shocked! That's about like putting a warning on a gallon of milk: "Warning: Contains Milk". I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm guessing it's out there somewhere.
Disclaimer: I am not, in any way, belittling food allergies. I know they are VERY serious business.
