I've just put on a meal for myself. A frozen packet of kippers. It's not a joke; on the reverse of the packet there is a large sign saying: WARNING - CONTAINS FISH. I'd never have guessed! Any other stupid "health/allergy" advice you've come across?

The standard one is the bag of peanuts with "warning, this product may contain nuts"!

Yes, I was going to say the same thing!
Other thing is childrens medication. When it is only supposed to be used to up to 12 years of age and it says on the packet, 'do not operate machinery or drive whilst taking this'. :-5
Sounds a bit fishy to me.

On the whole, I think people can be pretty stupid. And I'm including myself.
Although, I've had enough years of education to know that a package of peanuts contains nuts and that sleep medication may cause drowsiness. But, with the standard of schooling these days, warnings like that just may come in handy. :rolleyes:
