Comment on Vegan products not always safe for people with dairy allergy, watchdog says
AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 3 months agoWait why not? Or do you mean that the terminology is off or? And how is it get out of jail free card? If the label is there then it has been made in a factory where the manufacturer cannot guarantee cross-contamination free product. Seems perfectly fine to me, most people have no issue with that. If you are very allergic to dairy for instance then obviously you should not use these products. Same as with tons of allergies.

In fact, many allergy charities view it as badly flawed, so I don’t know who the ‘most people’ are that you talking about ?

So none of the links say that the statement is “badly flawed”. Two of them arw about consultation on this labeling or in allergens in general, and two mention that the labeling is a problem because it is not required / there is no clear policy behind it.
Sure, I agree that there should be a policy about when the label is required.

It wasn’t a quote.
In any event, people can read and decide for themselves
