Completely nutty advice!

Very naughty, Colin went to Tesco (it was the only shop open and he had to make cheesecakes for a lecture the following day - he uses the cheesecakes to represent a field and then demonstrates how to do a survey!)

One of the ingredients is ginger nut biscuits (my absolute favourites).

Anyway, I was amazed to find the following on the pack -

Ginger nut biscuits.

ALLERGY ADVICE
  • Recipe: No nuts
  • Ingredients: Cannot guarantee nut free.
  • Factory: Product made in a nut free area, but nuts used elsewhere.
Have you ever seen anything so damn confusing? There are no nuts in the recipe, but they can't guarantee that the biscuits are nut free, but they are made in a nut free area - but nuts are used elsewhere (that's obvious isn't it, nuts are used in many places across the world!?)

Good too see clear labeling.

Oh, and by the way - the packaging information says 'flow wrap: plastic, recyclable where facilities exist' - but surely everything is recyclable where facilities exist, the problem is that facilities don't usually exist.
