> We -have- to have strict labeling rules around allergens and destroy products that don't comply
No, this is absurd. We don’t have to destroy products that can otherwise be put to good use. The minuscule number of people who are simultaneously deathly allergic to milk and unaware that cream is milk would be just as well served by a recall that said to destroy the product if you have a milk allergy.
This is a black eye on the FDA, and at a time we can least afford the agency to have one. They should have worked out another solution with Costco.
