Very good Uncle Dave. Reminds me of the peanut tins that warn that it contains peanuts.
6 egg whites a day for me. Might as well shoot yourself if you can’t eat eggs.
What I find disturbing from the article is that besides the cartons of six, which aren’t terribly uncommon, the Happy Egg Company also sells their eggs in cartons of TEN!!! I consider this to be utter madness, and probably a sign that we’re coming to the end of days.
If Government requires that all food contain a warning as to known allergens then the companies have no choice.
Easier and in fact better to have an occasional titterfest regardling stupid labeling than to allow for a loophole for the Chinese to drive Mexican Trucks through.
I like how those fire logs have a warning that they’re flammable.
Odd. My eggs are all full of peanut butter.
Cancel that. The last two were full of shrimp.
A big sign that dumbifying the masses work.
You can never be too careful.
#7 LOL.
#5, Bobbo,
I agree. While this sounds stupid to many, the regulations require that ALL packaging that contain potential allergens be labeled. What may be obvious to most, may not be obvious to some.

That’s why we have the Darwin awards.
Gov regulations, ensuring defective genes are propagated.
General, do you eggs on your face again?
Yes, I see your point, why would something blatantly labeled and showing an image of eggs, also needs to give advice, “contains eggs”.
As much as I am against bureaucratic requirements. This one does make sense; in that:
*Allergies can be deadly
*Virtually no cost to implement
*Simple Rules are more likely to be followed then complex (tax code like) rules.
*Exceptions for the blatantly obvious would make the rules complex.

“Gov regulations, ensuring defective genes are propagated.”
Would never happened in Nazi Germany, eh? Though I’m sure its of some comfort to you! 😛
Ridiculous, reminds me of the ‘living outside the asylum’ guy in hitchhiker’s guide!
Warning: Kimber contains 45ACP, and I’m getting mighty sick of the bullshit.

I finally understand the mind set of the nanny state proponents. Self preservation!
