www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.htmlIn November the Food and Drug Administration told Smiling Hill Farm of Westbrook, Maine, that it would have to recall all of its egg nog because it did not list "egg" as an ingredient on the label. Federal law requires the listing to protect people with egg allergies from inadvertently consuming foods that they might not have realized contain egg (even products called "egg nog").

Thats a very stupid, if someone with an egg allergy drinks eggnog because it doesn't have "contains eggs" on it they deserve to have a trip to the hospital as punishment.

Well, how difficult would it be to just print "egg" on the box? It's not like it costs the company anything, because those boxes are already covered all over with ink. Might save one stupid person from an emergency room trip.
I don't consider stupidity a moral flaw.

Might save one stupid person from an emergency room trip. I don't consider stupidity a moral flaw. I have to agree with you there. The federal law is in place to protect people, however stupid they may be. This is the reason for many laws, to protect the weak and/or dim-whitted. |
