... no, really, it plainly states on the back of the tin ... advice: contains fish. :nod:

is like them packet peanuts you get ... caution, may contain nuts ... well I hope so?

Now I can understand some label of some foods. My niece is allergic to dairy products, especially milk ... have a look on milk cartons, it says ... caution: contains milk ... no crap batman.


Diet water, contains half the fat of ordinary water ... may be wet to the touch. :lol:


Seen any "silly" labelling lately :thumb:
