A recall that 99% won't be claimed since if you are buying butter you know it contains milk. Gotta be real dumb to think the butter is milk free.

You do realize we're talking about the same society that requires a warning label to not eat the shampoo?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

What?! You can eat the shampoo? No dog food for Victor tonight!

It's the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there's enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake...

Was trump the 'tide-pod’ of presidents...?

It isn't about people not knowing butter has milk, its about enforcing the law so they don't "accidentally" leave off legally required information.

Gotta be real dumb

Well based on last Tuesday, this is a shockingly large number of people.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They’ll just put a sticker on it that says “contains milk”. This is like one of those Tesla recalls that is really just a software update done to meet federal or state requirements.

Exactly. I know someone who works in the food trade industry - this isn't even that rare, small fuckups like this happen, except usually they get rectified long before local regulator intervenes

The US is the most litigious country in the world. They’re likely making sure all bases are covered just in case.

Gotta be real dumb to think the butter is milk free.

So like 50% of people then?

This is America.

To be fair, the word butter is very vague. Shea butter has no milk, apple butter has no milk, etc.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

But it's sold in the dairy area so no it's not vague.
