Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It isn't over nothing, though. Allergen information was missing.

Sure, it seems silly in this case, but not enforcing it also leaves wiggle-room that you really don't want for food labelling, otherwise companies could just start leaving stuff out of it because it's "obvious".

No-one with a nut allergy wants to be unexpectedly landed in the morgue because the company didn't put "contains cashews" in the label for their satay, since it's obvious, as nearly every satay sauce on the market contains cashews.

Oof, so to prove your point, I always thought satay was peanuts.
