Why does it say "may contain nuts"

Betelgeuse

I think it was Dostoevsky who said... Later fucker!
Hellovan Onion
On the package of honey roasted peanuts I'm eating?

I would hope it would contain nuts. Otherwise the fucking bag would be EMPTY.

Peanuts are not tree nuts. They come from the ground. Some people are allergic to tree nuts but not peanuts and might not risk eating that if thats the case.

Even so why would you eat something that was called a nut that could EASILY have a different kind of nut in it?

Also I have changed the question to better encompass everything. Not necessarily just peanuts but why does stuff like Hershey's with almonds say me contain nuts? It better contain nuts. Otherwise it's just a regular Hershey bar.
 
It's put on there in case an allergen could have by a super slim chance come into contact with the food that ordinarily wouldn't contain it. Very common with nuts because they usually produce more than just peanuts, cashews, ect and tree nuts/peanuts are both common allergies with peanuts being the most common deadly allergy. To avoid potential litigation ultimately though.

I am severely allergic to peanuts but have never avoided a "may contain" product even once. I do avoid products that share equipment with peanuts though especially if they are nuts. I can't have alot of trail mixes or nut mixes due to this, plus the fact they use peanut oil often.

No chik fil a or five guys for me </3
 
Warning labels are dumb because think of how dumb the average person is and remember they are average and about half of the population is even more stupid than that.
