Post subject: Warning Labels Reply with quote

Not all Planters' are peanuts and peanut allergies are serious. All it takes is a small amount of peanut oil to kill someone who is allergic.

It is federal law that any food product made in a factory that uses peanuts or peanut oil bear a warning label to protect the consumer.

While there is no law regarding wheat the same rule applies.
