Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!" in a ridiculous fake French accent.

Not to be outdone by European dairy-product thieves, the US FDA recently recalled nearly 40 tons of sweet cream butter because (checks notes) they lacked the "Contains Milk" warning label.

Don't get me wrong, lacking proper allergen warnings can be a pretty big deal, and not everyone considers that butter (and cream, which in addition to being in the name is listed in the ingredients list) comes from milk. But I have my doubts that there are people out there who know they are allergic to milk products but don't realize butter is one (in no small part because they've spent the bulk of the lives purposefully avoiding butter, on account of being allergic to it).
