    I understand the “slippery slope” issue but what an insane waste of food just over liability and pointing out the obvious.

      As a person with allergies to specific foods, then don’t make this mistake. Measure twice, cut once. These rules were written in blood, and tiniest violin for companies who fail it.

        Yeah I guess a solution that reduces food waste while also being safe for people with milk allergies and intolerances would be to slap a big ass “contains milk” sticker on the label, maybe covering up the barcode so that 1) it can’t be sold without the sticker, and 2) they can sell it at a discount. But that’s probably bad for costco’s image or whatever

      If I were a customer who purchased this, I would just ignore it. I assume many will do the same. It isn’t worth dealing with if it isn’t an issue for you.
