We were all set to make Amelia some Bell & Evans chicken nuggets (which she'd had ages and ages ago and which we hope could be an appealing way for her to try chicken again) when I noticed on the package a weird discrepancy. The ingredient statement had all the expected stuff (chicken, wheat, salt, cane juice, etc.) but then elsewhere on the package, it listed Allergen Information: Contains milk, wheat.After a call to Bell & Evans (very nice people, btw) I was told that there'd been an error in the labeling, and that there was no dairy in the nuggets all. They'd noticed the typo a few months ago and tried to put a sticker on all packages leaving the factory but I guess they missed mine. So we're all clear for nuggets, if she'll go for them. We'll see.
Anyway, it is crazy what you see when you start reading food labels. Soy in Life Savers (yuck)! Or my personal gross-out favorite: fish in microwave popcorn. Blech. Or when something does not list dairy in the ingredients but has a D (kosher symbol) on the front of the package. What's that about?
