lol, yes, they have the same warning on packets of peanuts here in the UK too. Very silly. I can just imagine someone with a peanut allergy eating a peanut from a packet clearly labelled “peanuts” and then saying “ooh, I had no idea I was eating a product containing peanuts!” lol. I’ve seen a few things that tell you not to turn the product upside down, but it’s written on the bottom or the best before date is on the bottom.
I saw a silly one th eother day, but I need tot hink about what it was now. I just remember laughing about one… hmmm…
