Sheaf Saint Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 As if we didn't already know... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-22308165 A supermarket chain has withdrawn bags of nuts - after failing to declare they may contain peanuts. The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert saying the presence of peanuts was not declared on Booths' own brand packets of monkey nuts. I despair, I really do.
Hamilton Saint Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 Was the packaging designed so that the consumer could see whether or not that there were peanuts inside? It doesn't say. If not, then it makes sense to include the warning on the package - since "monkey nuts" could contain other nuts than peanuts. The peanut allergy is a life-and-death issue - especially for young children; and it might not be so obvious to them what the package contains. Better safe than sorry. No?
Turkish Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 And quite right too. Luckily when I brought my monthly tuna supplies this month I checked the can and was delighted to see it contained fish. You cannot underestimate the relief I felt at purchasing the correct product.

So, were you at all interested in knowing whether the tuna was packed in water or oil? I am; I prefer water. So I'm glad that food manufacturers and distributors are required to list the ingredients on the outside of the packaging or tin.

svetigpung Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 Will have to put a note on me boxers "May contain nuts" Just to be safe
Maggie May Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 I love it when people put "err.." in posts. IT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD.

So I'm glad that food manufacturers and distributors are required to list the ingredients on the outside of the packaging or tin. The label says 'Tuna in oil' or 'Tuna in water'. It is a relief to know that I can check the contents to confirm that a tin of tuna contains fish to eliminate any doubt.
mcjwills Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 I can understand because when I bought some value beef burgers it said nothing about horsemeat in them.
trousers Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 Been watching QI Mr Trousers? No, I'm just naturally intelligent...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 They are legumes. You've hit an all time low here Godo. Shouldn't you be on the Merrington thread arguing with Turks?
Matthew Le God Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 I prefer talking to trousers about peanuts, than Turkish about anything.
Hatch Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 They are legumes. I thought you couldn't say that word anymore. Like spastics.
Turkish Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 I prefer talking to trousers about peanuts, than Turkish about anything. To be fair I'd hate to talk to me as well if I was made to look as consistently stupid as you do.
Danish Saint Posted 26 April, 2013 Posted 26 April, 2013 (edited) errr...yeah..Doesn't people, who talks to themselves come across as a bit stupid? Edited 26 April, 2013 by Danish Saint
Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 April, 2013 Posted 27 April, 2013 I thought you couldn't say that word anymore. Like spastics. Well don't say it like a spastic then, say it normally.... Boom! Sorry egg, it's just was just a joke. An open goal I couldn't miss and no worse than the I spasacus ones.
