  • The nuts thing is a bit different though, isn’t it? I’ve always been under the impression that’s there for legal reasons so that anyone who suffers an allergic reaction due to cross contamination from a non-listed allergen/ingredient can’t seek to sue.

    Also, if it’s a pack of peanuts that says ‘may contain nuts’ then that’s totally fine as peanuts are actually not nuts; they are a legume and fall under a different allergen classification.

    Kind regards,

    A peanut allergy sufferer ;)

  • You’re no doubt correct about the nuts thing, my bad. My point is it doesn’t hurt for manufacturers to label “vegan” on even the simplest of products, with just one or two ingredients, to enable vegans to better navigate the food minefield. And as alluded to earlier, help them sell more products.
