Why are people buying products, knowing that they or any of their family or friends could have an allergy, without being able to read the ingredients?

Because they’re thick?

Surely if you have an allergy, you're extra careful?

This is my favourite bit.


Aldi has recalled its Clancy’s Barbecue Flavour Coated Peanuts because they contain cashew nuts, which are undeclared on the label.

The supermarket is warning customers with a nut allergy not to consume the snacks, but instead to return it to the shop where it was purchased

The Aldi nuts one, it does say they arent declared on the packet.

You would have thought so, and to be fair, those people with allergies probably are careful. This’ll be more about Aldi and Lidl protecting their own arse than anything else.

Is that the Clancy’s Barbecue Flavour Coated Peanuts.

Cheap enough to put you in hospital? Honestly man

Apart from the nuts

To be fair, you can eat peanuts if you have a nut allergy. Peanut allergy and nut allergy are two different things.

Well my stepson has a nut allergy and I certainly wouldn't be buying him peanuts.

I didnt say me, but why else do people shop in Aldi & Lidl

They dont realise what they are buying, its just a bargain to be had

Has anyone actually read the article?
They are being recalled because one of the labels isn't even written in English and the other, a bag of peanuts is being recalled because it contains something that isn't peanuts and isn't specified on the label.
Somehow this is the shoppers fault.

Which contain cashews and arent listed

I can't remember saying it was mandatory.

You are just depriving him of peanuts. Peanuts aren't categorised as nuts.

Exactly!
