Labelling oddities & idiocies

[Not so ancient mariner]

We have all heard of cans of tuna that are labelled 'contains fish' or lentil soup that 'may contain traces of seeds', well today I have come across a new one (at least to me). Packets of pork scratchings with a flash across the label proudly announcing "ROAST PORK FLAVOUR".

Really?? I never would have guessed!!

When I then read the small print on the back of the packet, it got worse!

After the list of usual ingredients, Pork Rind, Salt, Flavourings, vegetable oil etc, It says:

"May contain traces of Milk, Egg, Fish, Mustard, Celery" and then adds:

"Although extra care has been taken to remove all bones, some may remain"

If you do find a bone, I presume you are meant to chew it, because it then says:

"Suitable for those with strong healthy teeth"

aaargh!

Just to amuse Hezza - I'd like e-tickets to state - 'may contain nuts'.
