May contain nuts - does it annoy you?!
Answers: am I the only one that gets fed up that any product you buy nowadays has "May contain nuts" on the packet? It's just stupid and lazy to comply with regulations.....
I agree with you totally. The manufacturer should be more specific and describe what nuts exactly were used in the product and what proportion. They cannot be vague in their description of the ingredients.
No it doesn't
For those with nut allergies Im sure it does drive them nuts to constantly read lables and such. But for me nope Im not bothered at all.
Its doesnt bother me because im not allergic, but if I was...I would be annoyed.
Um no,,,,,,,some people are deathly allergic and its a warning to them that the food is around nuts,,,its no being lazy its an extra precaution,,,,why does this bother you?? Just dont read it,,,
It would annoy me if I was allergic to nuts.
I always thought it was to avoid lawsuits from people who have nut allergies.
Probably. Ever met anyone with a peanut allergy? Anaphalaxis isn't a pleasant experience (read: life threatening), and can be triggered by even the slightest exposure. Which is why they're labeled like that.
It's Good! I'm allergic to nuts
No, what annoys me is the fact that we have to have magazines on the rack in 2 different languages. And we have to choose which language we want whenever we make a phone call. This is America where ENGLISH is the "official" language!
Actually what is annoying is your asking this question. You working in a hospital it seems to me that you would be more considerate of the fact that there are people out there that need to know this information.
I understand your point. They should say whether or not, to let people know. Not maybe. If its an ingredient that is present, they should say so.
I completely agree with you.... It really annoys me! Whenever I decide to buy something(food), the first thing I see on the cover is "MAY CONTAIN NUTS"
It only bugs me when the words "May contain nuts" appear on items that obviously contain nuts...!! "Fruit and Nut" says "May contain nuts" - no, really??
But, I understand the reasoning behind it...
I actually think the more irritating packaging is when it food stuffs say "Serving suggestion" and the photo is the product on a plate... I would never have thought about putting it on a plate lol
I have lots of wild birds in my garden. I bought them some birdfood, which looked to be mainly nuts of different kinds. The packet had a warning "may contain nuts". Crazy.....
they don't bother
best don't buy
no, it doesn't annoy me. people have serious allergies to nuts. there could be people in your family(or mine for that matter) that you don't know about who are extremely allergic to nuts. i'm sure they appreciate the heads up.
some people are allergies which can be very dangerous.
so the company who doesn't wants to take any risk,
if a person who eats that product can have
allergies, and can sue the company.
so in advice they tell may contain nuts or
may contain eggs
even many people have allergies for eating
eggs, milk or dairy, wheat which has gluten.
