Another unclear food label - live cultures in yoghurt.

I have just discovered the bit on the yoghurt pot I was eating from that says "live cultures" and it is tiny.

Ok, it IS there, but it is very small, and I am dyslexic. I did check in the shop before picking it up, but I didn't see it.

I now have to contact my cancer nurse arrange a telephone conversation. Not that there is anything she can do now, I have eaten it.

I am going to contact the manufacturer and complain. Particularly on the grounds that a lot of people undergoing chemo are going to have temporary eyesight problems. But obviously, this is dangerous to other people too, not just cancer patients.

I think food with a content that poses a significant danger to a significant proportion of the population should have that warning written in a standard colour, so it is easy to skim the package standing in the super market isle, and find that warning.

There should be a list of ingredients that have to be printed in bright orange, or something, so that if you are scanning for a particular ingredient, and you don't see any bright orange, you know it isn't there.

Of course people who are severely colour blind might have to get someone else to scan for them, but that would solve this issue for most people most of the time, wouldn't it?

Yoghurt is now woo and we're all killing our children by letting them eat a bit of fage.

That's enough internet for me for today.

Yeah but OP is posting as if that can happen to anyone. That is absolutely wrong. Plus the patients eat considerable amounts eg. Probiotic yogurt with probiotics added on top etc. It wasn't a portion of live yogurt AND these people were several immunocompromised at that point.

Yeah. That’s why I said
Obviously very rarely and in the most particular of circumstances. Hmm

Do you think we should all nod to her?

Where did I say that? How bizarre. I don’t think that my guess that the op might have a skewed view due to extreme anxiety is any less likely than your guess that she might be stupid or a troll. Truth is, neither of us knows.
