In the spirit of the season:
"John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist,
and he ate locust and wild honey."
Matthew 3:4, Mark 1:6
"There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all fours that you may
eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground.
Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.
But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest."
Leviticus 11:22-23

fortunately we are omnivores
and while preferring to dine on the upper branches
of the food chain tree
nothing prevents homo sapiens sapiens from thriving on the lower branches
even though they don't look or smell so pretty,
everything's OK so long as our internal pathogen and infection defenses are in
good order
bon appetit :-)

This particular labeling of "Nut" products is not an isolated event.
Pick up viturally any container of mixed nuts and it will have a similar
warning.
Of course don't start reading too many food labels, it can get really scary.
FDA's Food Alergen page is:
http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/cpg/cpgfod/cpg555-250.htm
And you thought product safety standards were convoluted and political driven!
We won't discuss the pages that address the standards for"
"a. Insect Filth and Mold . . . contains an average of 1% or more insect
infested and/or moldy pieces by weight.
or b. Mammalian Excreta . . . contains an average of 1 milligram or more of
mammalian excreta per pound.
or c. Foreign Matter . . . contains an average of 1% or more pickings and
siftings by weight, (What exactly is "Foreign Matter?)
"The following represents the criteria for direct reference seizure:
Insect Filth . . . contains an average of 100 or more insect fragments per 25
grams
Rodent Filth . . . contains an average of 4 or more rodent hairs per 25 grams."
and this is before it gets to the minimum wage food preparation specialist.
"Do you want fries with that?"
