    Nuts may contain nuts...

    ... or not.

    A supermarket withdraws nuts from the shelf because there is no warning: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/ap...-warning-error

    How stupid do manufacturers (or at least their lawyers) think people are? If a product has "nuts" in the name (and isn't in the "fasteners" aisle at the hardware store), people whose lives depend on avoiding nuts due to allergies should assume that it contains nuts, even if it doesn't have the warning "may contain nuts". Even though peanuts and "tree nuts" aren't related, they're treated alike in the grocery store, so it's safe to assume that "nuts" could refer to either kind (or at least lethally dangerous to assume that it didn't). I wouldn't be surprised if people with peanut allergies would take care to avoid handling a book of Charles Schultz cartoons.

      They removed the wrong nuts from the store. They should have removed the ones that were "outside" the package.

        You really do have to be careful...

              Yes but they're good with honey and banana. Also good in yogurt.

                It's my understanding that laws on what food companies are allowed to say about their products have tightened up. Remember the old Special K commercials "One ounce of Special K with four ounces of milk is a good source of protein"? My reaction when I first heard that (and I was still in elementary school)? "One ounce of SAWDUST with four ounces of milk is a good source of protein".

                  Wait...were these Monkey Nuts advertised as what (I presume) they are, which would be roasted peanuts? If the word "peanuts" is prominently mentioned on the package, I'd say that that qualifies as a warning >_> Unless, of course, they were talking about the presence of ACTUAL (tree) nuts, as such a warning generally indicates in the US...

                    you know it's kinda like those sleeping pills where they say "may cause drowsiness".

                    Ya think?
