Nanny State Britain though, how many muppets with a nut allergy will end up suing as a nut bar doesn't say it "May Contain Nuts".

Well, peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes, so it is warning you that there may be nuts or nuttraces in this legume (ie not nut) product.

Okay so these are not food labels but still very amusing;

"Do not attempt to stop the blade with your hand." -- In the manual for a Swedish chainsaw.

"Beware! To touch these wires is instant death. Anyone found doing so will be prosecuted." -- On a sign at a railroad station.

"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." -- On a child sized Superman costume.

not a food label, but on some tablets prescribed to my Westie dog it stated in large letters:

May cause drowsiness do not drive or operate heavy machinery

I didn't lend him the car that day

What about those bottles that say "Shake before using" I was shaking so much I couldn't open the bottle:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Also, I came along a sign last week that said,"Dogs must be carried" Do you know, I couldn't find a bl**dy dog anywhere":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That is because many vets use human drugs as they're cheaper. There were plans to try and stop this practice by the drug companies so they could charge three times as much for "species specific" drugs... never caught on though!
