Man...I wish I remembered a warning label I came across at one of my old jobs. It was just impossibly out of left field.

Meanwhile, a bottle of mouthwash I was looking at in the grocery store today helpfully included "remove cap" in the directions.....

The FDA started requiring everyone to clearly label the 8 major allergens on food packaging in January 2006. It's not that the manufacturers are dumb. It's just regulation.

It's not about law suits either. It's about retards like me with food allergies who are constantly on edge in this country because the US has crappy food labeling regulations. Most other countries do a better job than we do. If anything, we need clearer labeling, but there are too many asshats in this country to tell people what's in the food they eat.

Personally, I don't think this goes far enough.

They should stamp the warning on each egg, along with the nutritional information.

There's an allergy warning on the package of butter in my fridge.

Allergy warning: Contains cream(milk)


I know there are people with severe allergies & food sensitivities, but who is so stupid that they don't know that eggs contain eggs or butter contains milk?

FTA: food expert Tom Parker Bowles said: 'It does get to the point when warnings go too far. We don't need to be told a peanut contains nuts or eggs contain egg.'

I'm no "food expert," but since when does a peanut contain nut?

LordOfThePings: I'm no "food expert," but since when does a peanut contain nut?

Right after someone farks it. Duh.

PacManDreaming: Right after someone farks it. Duh.

Don't be absurd. It's anatomically impossible for you to fark something the size of a peanut. Well, it's anatomically impossible for me to fark something the size of a peanut.

LordOfThePings: Well, it's anatomically impossible for me to fark something the size of a peanut.

Too big for you, huh?

Go check your can of peanuts or jar of peanut butter Subby

This is stupid.

The warning should be on the outside of the box, of course.

Today's jokes are tomorrow's regulations. They will.

I'm allergic to stupid warning labels.

this isn't a shock.

i've seen bags of peanuts that say "contains peanuts" on them at the store.

I think you're part of the problem. Get with your doctor and stop eating shait that makes you sick. "Most other countries"? Anyone that can read English should read labels. They're plenty clear. Should they come with e.coli or trich warnings too? Eat some more of it, your allergy might actually go away.

You know who else did about food but made it better........

I'll give you 5/10. People do have food allergies. I can eat any shellfish, invertebrate and crusteacean on the planet but crab. It makes me hurl. Even when people say I'm full of shiat. So I don't eat it. But I don't get in a farking panic about it either.

Do we need MORE labelling? No. Just don't eat it and you'll be fine.

I don't know about that. I found this abomination of an extra chromosomed peanut in a bag of nut in shell peanuts.

Strictly speaking, the warning is on the packaging. Once the products have been consumed or disposed of in a hypoallergenic manner, the packaging no longer contains egg. Therefore, it should state "May contain egg", to cover all situations wherein the packaging does not actually contain any eggs.

Egg trifecta in play.

well that's more stupid than asinine. anyway how about peanut butter without salmonella

I bought an umbrella the other day, The package says "umbrella is water resistant" but with some sort of caveat not to be used in a pool.

I think Shroedinger would approve with this reasoning...

Wow. My HTML is fbxrd today.

I'm just relieved to know there's real egg in my eggs.

enkindle: I'm just relieved to know there's real egg in my eggs.

I agree 100%

/I still agree with the person that said "We should remove warning labels from everything and let nature run its course"

What about a warning for use as a projectile, or weapon, or can damage a car finish, or comes out of the vagina of a chicken. There is just so much danger involved with eggs.

It's a warning for our kids! Believe me, they need it.

Denis Leary is correct in his act when he said "The human herd needs thinning out" !

// You damn right I went Godwin.

not surprised

the place i used to work at had boxes of milk with "Warning: contains milk" on them


presumably also from the Department of Redundancy Department

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

If only there were some way to tell from the outside of the carton that it contained 12 free-range hens eggs from Kentucky Sunshine Farms of no less than 70g each.

LordOfThePings: I'm no "food expert," but since when does a peanut contain nut?

It doesn't, as you are correct that peanuts are not really nuts. To cover this base, I have seen products labeled with phrases like "may contain peanuts or tree nuts".

joltek: Sometimes eugenics is better for the masses!

And yet it so seldom seems to work out well at all for those that really get into the notion.

PoopStain: I'd blame the lawyers, but the real guilty parties are stupid people. Someone could actually claim they didn't know what an egg looked like because they had always been allergic to them.

Of course, in my world, that person would be executed in public.

Newsletter, please.

Thank you lawyers. Thank you Jesus.
Quick, name a national Democrat that's not a lawyer.

Painfully obvious and free publicity scam, well done happy egg, I've now heard of your company.

Nanny state, how surprising.

No need. Remove the warning labels on everything and that will take care of itself.

People toasting pop-tarts in the bathtub, eating peanut butter and having their heads swell to the size of watermelons, drinking the colored liquids out of cleaning bottles and using power tools to scratch that annoying itch up their noses.

The rest of us would wake up in a few months and the average national IQ would have raised a couple dozen points.

I just figured they'd finally managed to stop Robin Williams from screwing the eggs...

FTFA: It does get to the point when warnings go too far

Oh, Jesus Christ. It's a note on packaging. It's not like they're charging people a tax to pay for the extra ink.

So some designer got paid an additional 30 minutes to put that on the box. BFD.

I have a low tolerance for stupidity, but this is so utterly harmless it's hardly worth mentioning.

/if reminders of stupidity bother you that much, stay off the internet
