When a product label reads "May Contain Nuts", doesn't it frustrate you? I am sure those of you with nut allergies or are parents of children with nut allergies can relate. Why can't the manufacturers just make it certain. Does it or doesn't it contain nuts?!?

Here's another nut allergic ranting about it. Like Legal Eagle, my son generally does not show an allergic reaction when eating products that have "may contain nuts" on the label. My theory is either the level of contamination is too low to register in my son's immune system, or as she put:

the label is just a lawyer's trick to cover companies on the 0.01% off chance that a hazelnut fragment falls into the vanilla ice cream mix.

Go ahead and jump to Legal Eagle's blog entry and get a lawyer's perspective on labeling, food allergy guidelines in schools, and crops that are genetically modified to be less allergenic.
