Found on a can of mixed nuts today:
"Alergen Warning: May contain traces of nuts."

WHAAAAT?! TRACES OF NUTS?!!? FOR THE LOVE OF SPAM AND TWINKIES; IT'S A CAN OF NUTS!

Found on a bag of peanuts: "Allergen information: Product may contain peanuts."

Yea, I had the same reaction. At least Wal-Mart's trail mix says "Caution: Product contains nuts."

[gsv2]

The trail mix, I can see. It Is possible that someone doesn't know what it in "trail mix" but some of these.... Perhaps it is more of a reminder to poeple without allergies who might be buying for enteraining purposes, kinda a last ditch reminder "hey! Your friends may be allergic to THIS!" But still it seems very odd.

Yea, I just get annoyed at the "may" part of these. It's right in the ingredients, and if it doesn't contain nuts (or milk, etc..) I'm going to be annoyed.

[gsv2]

I figure the can got sarcastic.

[shuppie]

lol, nice...

[gsv2]

though people might appreciate that.

Maybe what looks like nuts are faux nuts made of tofu and only have traces of nuts for flavoring!

[gsv2]
