Why does it say "may contain nuts"

[Jack]

On the package of honey roasted peanuts I'm eating?

I would hope it would contain nuts. Otherwise the fucking bag would be EMPTY.

Peanuts are not tree nuts. They come from the ground. Some people are allergic to tree nuts but not peanuts and might not risk eating that if thats the case.

Even so why would you eat something that was called a nut that could EASILY have a different kind of nut in it?

Also I have changed the question to better encompass everything. Not necessarily just peanuts but why does stuff like Hershey's with almonds say me contain nuts? It better contain nuts. Otherwise it's just a regular Hershey bar.

It could be for deaf people

Couldn't deaf people just open the bag and see that there are nuts inside?

Might be too late once they've been exposed to the nut particles, their allergies will already flare up. Also, they can't hear the packaging out loud so the label is needed

Then why wouldn't they see the word peanuts in gigantic letters on the front of the package?

They could just feel the nut bag, or dare I say fondle the nut sack, to ensure the package wasn't vasectomized of its nutty contents.

I mean I don't have to feel on a nut sack to know that it's full of nuts when I want nuts in my mouth.

Yes, but it's a tradition to rustle the nut sack.

I do like to manhandle the nut sack.

You know I didn't start this thread to make retarded testicle jokes, but I'm glad this is what it became.

It's like slapping your meat.

On a serious note though, I think it's only slapped on the to deter people from being able to sue the company. There have been MANY cases of retards trying to sue food companies for some BS reason.

Reminded me of this:

It's put on there in case an allergen could have by a super slim chance come into contact with the food that ordinarily wouldn't contain it. Very common with nuts because they usually produce more than just peanuts, cashews, ect and tree nuts/peanuts are both common allergies with peanuts being the most common deadly allergy. To avoid potential litigation ultimately though.

I am severely allergic to peanuts but have never avoided a "may contain" product even once. I do avoid products that share equipment with peanuts though especially if they are nuts. I can't have alot of trail mixes or nut mixes due to this, plus the fact they use peanut oil often.

No chik fil a or five guys for me </3

Warning labels are dumb because think of how dumb the average person is and remember they are average and about half of the population is even more stupid than that.

 

[kiwifails]

You know why there's a warning label on toothpicks because there's that one person. And that person will see somebody when they accidentally swallow one

 

[𒂶𒃑𒄀𒄖𒄦𒅑𒆑]

Warning label on shampoo/soaps in general telling you not to eat them lmao
