It's the backlash of lawsuit happy consumers, isn't it? If it's labelled, then the company can't be sued for it as effectively. Of course, then someone illiterate will claim discrimination, and we get everything plastered with little icons of horror.

This one is sorta valid. It appeared on a packet of peanuts. Peanuts aren't nuts.

A nut allergy is different to a peanut allergy, and someone who can eat peanuts safely may not be able to eat nuts.

"Our advice would be say what you need to plainly and simply then stop. If nothing needs to be said, say nothing."
Now if we asked politicians to only speak when they were going to say something sensible and useful, then politics would be very quiet...
