As someone who has a severe nut allergy, those notes are pretty helpful. It may seem redundant but when you pick something up its way easier to look at the bolded print on the bottom to see what allergens may be present rather than read the entire label.

On the other hand it's hilarious to me to see people spending so much for organic or non-gmo foods. I know this is a contentious subject but all the farmers I know buy conventional (I live in one of the biggest winter produce areas in the nation)

I wish I would have paid more attention to the warning on that $1 pack of peanuts.

No, it isn't the obvious things that you worry about. There are actually a lot of products that have nut by-products or wheat in them that you wouldn't realize.

It's not just Whole Paycheck; I've seen things like that at Albertsons. They're called "infusions" and there was also one with watermelon.


Yeah, there's actually a store near me which sells "alkaline" water and related diet products, and they have a poster in their window showing a chart like this:

So citric acid isn't acidic? Got it.
