milk contains milk apparently,, who knew? New food labels for Tescos, A major supermarket chain are labelling their milk bottles with the warning "contains milk," and that bags of nuts "contains nuts."
http://www.manchesteronli..._nuts.html "Tesco - which also warns shoppers that cream contains milk and that salted butter contains milk and salt - defended its decision, saying it wanted customers to have "all the possible information they should need."

"Allergy advice: Contains eggs" I kinda hate to say it but I prefer the Darwinian approach. Anyone dumb enough to eat eggs with an egg allergy not realising eggs "contain eggs" needs to be removed from this planet  | |

Labels should be clearly labelled (erm..I should work for tescos too) But theres no need to state it so obviously. why not label it with a puzzle like? My first is in Mother but not in brother, my second is in tilk, but also in silk and my third is in plilk but not in dilk. | |

I think the label should just say "label," you know, so people know it's a label. | |

Of course your ass is gonna get burned if you spill hot coffee on yourself but she sued anyway and she won.  there's a warning on my peanutbutter jar that says, 'Warning: contains nuts' 'cause you never know who the idiots are.[Edited 2/20/06 6:23am] | |

I remember first seeing obvious labels like this maybe five years ago or so. It seems like since food allergies have become much more serious, these labels have become more popular. | |

You should label your hair "hair" so you don't think it's a giant bug when you are half asleep. | |

I understand, but its ridiculous to say that a bottle of milk contains milk. | |
