alergen tax

[report]

The number of legally mandated allergens and religeous dietary restrictions had increased over the last ten years to the point where it's now a serious cost in manufacture and a market barrier to producers.

As people with allergies are the only beneficiaries of these laws, is it fair that they should have to pay a monetary tax to impacted producers?

Today we did a production run.

5 normal ingredients were left out because they were allergens, so the food kind of sucked.

The cost of 3 ingredients was more then six times normal, as many of our primary producers could guarentee their produce was free from allergens.

We had to stop producing an entire line of products, because it wasn't worth having two allergens in the facility at all.

We had to spend 8 times as much on cleaning chemicals that were sulphide free.

People don't realise how much cost is being directly added to their food by these laws. Our profit margins are much smaller then retailers, a %5 cost increase cuts out profit by 20%. We stop making the product at all.

And imported products they comply with zero alergen requirements, simply claiming they "may contain" any allergy and not disclosing when they might, because nobody can sue them, have a serious commercial advantage which combined with other non compliance issues and labour law violations is why migrant slop is so cheap.

The laws we have in place are suicidal, destroying local industry, stealing local jobs, taking ordinary foods off the shelves, losing tax revenue and driving the import of millions of tons of substandard third world slop.

Putting on the label that it contains a common allergen is a serious food cost?

Just deport or euthanize. They're shitting up the gene pool.

Being able to die just by walking into a room in which someone ate a pack of peanuts 2 hours ago is just pathetic.

Never once seen or heard of this. Ever. Not on the news. Not in my personal or business life. Never. I'm damm near ancient too, and that sounds like fake bullshit.

A lot of products include sesame even though there's no sesame in the recipe, Just because sesame seeds are so small and difficult to decontaminate they are better off adding it as an ingredient so it can be labeled rather than trying to not have it present at all

Food allergies aren't always due to genes. There are treatments that can stop reactions from being so severe now.

I always thought the circled U was to trick goys and the star of david with the Hebrew was the ones for them.

Don't cater to them, simple. Just make them find their own food choices. Peanut butter allergies being the exception. Just take them out behind the barn. Stop banning my mouth smacker sandwichs from places.

Kosher only really applies to meat, shellfish and dairy products. Jews can chug as much corn syrup as they want as long as it doesn't have crushed up bugs in it.

I actually think I have it, one day I was eating a bunch of raw celery and noticed my tongue was numb

Ntayrt, but you just ate too much celery. I had the same happen to me when I ate too much pineapple.

Do you notice how nobody has an allergy to meat
It's almost like humans are obligate hypercarnivors or something and that's our species appropriate ancestral diet

Depends if you include fish and shellfish allergies which are some of the most common allergies and are usually severe.

Obviously it's not 100% the same thing but cats are carnivores and some of their most common food allergens are beef, chicken, and fish.

Also carnivores can't taste sugar.

Why don't they list dog semen? Lots of people are allergic to dog semen.

>>19185
It's a fair point, but you can play that game too. Just list "this food was made in a facility that also processes wheat, dairy, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, fish, dog semen, potassium, and tree nuts." Then all the allergyfags and gluten-free LARPers can fuck off and eat something else.

>nobody has an allergy to meat
Are you fucking kidding me? The news has been full of "lone star ticks" and "alpha-gal syndrome" articles for months now, ever since vegan activists started spreading the ticks to make more people suffer from it.

"Alpha-gal" refers to alpha galactose, a sugar that exists in red meat. Getting bitten by a lone-star tick triggers an immune system reaction that makes people severely allergic to alpha galactose. They can easily die or end up hospitalized from even tasting something made with beef broth.

>obligate hypercarnivors
We're not, we're omnivores. An obligate carnivore is an animal that can only exist on meat, like cats and fennec foxes.

I will never give more of a shit about money and profits over people's life and health.
The way America handles food and healthcare is abjectly retarded and creates fat sick people but, the question posed here about muh profits because of people with allergies is souless

70% of food allergies are literally fictional. People just claiming them so they can feel special and make other people’s life difficult.

25% are real reactions, but ones that could be easily treated. We just don’t do that, because the medical industry prioritizes coddling people over fixing them.

The remaining 5% is real. These people should just go live in anti-allergen colonies and leave the rest of us alone.

There's a difference between allergies and intolerances, I think the 70 and 25 up there are intolerances (and fake intolerances).

I know a couple that got together and married because they had "so much in common", both allergic to a shitload of things.
Sure enough they have two kids that are allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, one is intolerant to gluten for real, and the other one can get sunburned in the shade.
