Sainsburys labelling

[fuchsia0703]

Seems to me a lot of relabelling of bakery products has been going on recently. DD can't have dairy or soya. I am now finding certain products which she previously have have been relabelled. Although there is nothing in the actual ingredients that has changed, it says below "not suitable for soya allergy sufferers due to the methods used in the manufacture of this product".

Any ideas what this might mean - is it a cop out clause on behalf of Sainsburys to cover themselves. Does it actually mean that products containing soya are made in the same factory? They seem to be making it more and more difficult to buy anything.

It might mean that they have changed the factory/supplier that makes the product.

Total pita, isnt it?

The company I work for makes stuff for Sainsbury's - this sort of disclaimer goes on a product when an allergen is handled in the factory where the product is made. The chances of it appearing in the product are small, but there is always a slight chance.

So yes, it is a cop out. Arse covering on the part of Sainsbury's

All supermarkets are going in this direction now, as legislation on declaration of allergens becomes stricter, customer expectation gets higher and the chance of litigation increases.

This is what I thought - I have emailed Sainsburys to ask them what it means - but that is very useful Cheesyfeet.
