Question of the Week

Okay, so my mom went to the grocery store around 10:30 this morning and when she came home, she brought back some chicken fingers from the deli at Walmart. For anyone that has not had these, they are actually really good. Better than some big restaurant chains I've eaten at. Anyway, I was reading the back of the deli bag. They had the ingredients listed. Wheat was the very first ing. on the breading list. What I don't understand is that underneath the ingredients that had just listed wheat as an ing., they had an allergy allert panel stating that there was wheat in them. Pardon me if I'm being insensitive, but if you or your child has allergies to wheat and you see wheat in the ing. list, don't you assume that you should avoid that product? The craziest one I've seen... a peanut allergy warning on the back of the jar of peanut butter, come on. I'm allergic to peanuts (not deadly or anything) and I just roll my eyes at that one. Can anyone say, "duh". I can understand a warning if the product was made on a line with an allergen but doesn't contain that allergen, but why is it necessary to put allergy allerts for things that are very plainly listed in the ingredients list? Can anyone explain this to this apparently simple-minded Grace?
