An "allergy" warning -- this was on a bag of frozen peas

[Mmathis]

I was preparing some peas for one of my fish when I happened to notice this cautionary statement on the back of the bag. Who woulda thought! PROZEN PEAS! So, anyway, as someone with [mild] food allergies, I thought I would pass this along as a WARNING to check all labels!

They forgot to mention the odd bug or caterpillar that might find its way in!

But at least if you cook them properly....extra protein!

Isn't it crazy all the stuff that *might* be in your food?

Seriously though I never realized allergies were such an issue until my niece was born and was found to have an allergy to eggs (along with other things) it's amazing how many things we eat every day that are not egg free.

What the heck...??
Do they only have one packaging machine at that plant?
They forgot to list peanuts.

That just seems very strange!

Looks like a banquet menu to me!

The ingredient list makes no sense. Why no Talapia?

Don't forget that there is an acceptable limit for rodent droppings.

Yea, For me in a "perfect" world it would be zero but unfortunately it's not...,,

IT's impossible to keep rats and mice out of any food processing plant or farm.

Perhaps that begs the question, would you really want to eat something that rats and mice wouldn't touch?

It's mostly to protect them from being sued in case of processing line contamination. It doesn't "contain" those items, but likely could have come in contact hence may contain trace amounts. But in a litigation society, they carpet bomb with fine print warnings.

LOL that like the distilled water with a California Prop 25 warning "May contain items known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm"
