We usually buy our apple juice fresh from a local Orchard at the Farmer's Market, but earlier this week I ran out. So, when I came across a cold pressed 100% (1 ingredient) Apple Juice at Fresh & Easy yesterday I decided to give it a try since the Farmer's Market isn't until Sunday.
I glanced at the label to make sure there was indeed only 1 ingredient and put the juice in my basket. It never even crossed my mind to check for an advisory label on apple juice yet, lo and behold, there it was....
...."Made in a facility that also handles Milk, Tree Nuts, Soy." Thankfully I just happened to notice the advisory label while opening the bottle.
I really should know better by now to not assume or trust that anything is safe. Check out this box of cornstarch. I even found potatoes before with an advisory label reading, "May Contain Tree Nuts". You can never be too careful!
This is simply an unhelpful over-compensation for legal liability issues.
ReplyDeleteThese sorts of things are on all sorts of foods and beverages... we usually have to make rational decisions about it's intent and the likelihood of anything being in it.
I would prefer that there be a better way to handle this coverage....
