| Nov 2, 2013 at 23:30 | comment | added | Kristina Lopez | That's what I was thinking too but you were kind of specific about your example and you used the "food" tag. | |
| Nov 2, 2013 at 23:27 | comment | added | New Alexandria | It's not limited: the same applies to a warnin regarding an unsafe activity - like when using a power tool improperly, leading to a near-miss injury, which someone nearby the 'warns' you about. This regards advice to perform a (QA) check after the point in time that was necessary. | |
| Nov 1, 2013 at 22:01 | comment | added | Kristina Lopez | Actually, logically, this sounds like an extreme one-off to me because food products include their ingredients on the outside of the package. This inside affirmation could be the result of a lawsuit or injunction or a misapplied package bottom that should have appeared on the outside, not the inside. | |
