Risky Business, Life isn't it

One of the joys of my current job is that I have to read an awful lot of awful stuff - mostly acts of parliament and associated rules, regulations, orders, orders superceding acts and so on. Many of these relate to things like safety and welfare at work - such as the order rescinding the Tripe Dressing and Gut Scraping (Welfare) Regulations 1926 - Yes folks this really did exist - its all about how many lavatories you had to provide for your tripe workers.
Anyway to meander back to the point, most of this stuff says that if there's a hazard you must see how likely it is that something bad will happen with it - that is carry out a Risk Assessment. This sensible advice appears to have been taken to new levels of idiocy however by our supermarkets (presumably to avoid litigation should a customer die in unfortunate circumstances in a food related accident)
So in the interests of research I decided to have a look at the labelling on some of the stuff in the kitchen cupboard. Hmmm! How stupid are people thought to be? I have a jar of peanuts labelled with allergy advice "Warning - may contain peanuts" - well what else might you have in a jar of peanuts, pineapple chunks or a copy of volume six of the Encylopedia Britannica? Some chocolate which is labelled that it was produced in a factory where there were nuts and eggs and other things people might be allergic to. How far do we want to take this, "Warning this was packed by someone who sat next to a man eating dry roasted peanuts in the pub ten years ago" "Don't eat food it might make you ill"

But I've saved the best 'til last a bottle of Tequila labelled that it should be "enjoyed responsibly "- Me and Mister Squeaky can only assume that this means that half a dozen Slammers and the odd Sunrise are not permitted
