So, I'm eating my pepper jack cheese for lunch and I happen glance down at its label which contains the following:
WARNING: Contains Milk.
Um. Duh? It's Cheese. Doesn't Cheese, by its very nature, contain milk? And why aren't the people who are responsible for this absurdity (i.e. the people who would sue because they ate cheese when they have a milk allergy) laughed out of court rather than being awarded huge sums of money and instigating a change in the labeling industry?
I'm pretty sure if they could figure out how to label molecules, each little water droplet would come with its own sign -- WARNING: Contains 2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen.
And speaking of water - the fountains are refilled and back on. Fountains: Day 1. Again.

did you know that there are federal standard definitions of cheese?

For example, processed cheese can be made from IMITATION MILK or other non-dairy ingredients.
So, yeah, sometimes those silly warnings are necessary.
