A supermarket chain has withdrawn bags of nuts
- after failing to declare they may contain peanuts.
The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert saying the presence of
peanuts was not declared on Booths' own brand packets of monkey nuts.
The supermarket has removed 300 packets of 350g Whole Hearted Roasted
Monkey Nuts from its shelves.
Booths has apologised and warned customers with a peanut allergy not to consume the product.
This really is the stupidest and most unnecessary sequence of events, do
you really need to have a warning notice saying may contain nuts on a bag of
nuts.
If anyone with a peanut allergy was mad enough consume a bag of those
monkey nuts, odd name, because they didn’t think there would be a problem, then
they deserved to go into anaphylactic shock.
Finally given the recent horsemeat scandal, how can the FDA be sure that
the product in question doesn’t actually contain the nuts of monkeys?
