I think we all agree- for precisely the reason you experienced- that clear labeling is important. I did some quick googling and couldn't find anything like you described (Yogurt in big letters, cashew in small) but if such a thing does exist- it should absolutely be crushed by regulatory agencies for being patently unsafe. I mean frankly, it doesn't even make sense for such a thing to exist. Those who buy cashew yogurt alternative (as I've only ever seen it labeled) are looking specifically FOR that. I certainly hope you didn't invent an anecdote to make your point.
Unfortunately 100% true story. FWIW, it was only puking and crying...no urgent care visit or epi pen...just a gross night with a sad kid and me feeling like a huge ass.
I can't find the package either. This was over 2 years ago, so either it's discontinued or not online? My local chain, Market Basket also doesn't have ordering online. I think it was stoneyfield or one of the major brands, but am not confident...it was in a pouch and misplaced with the regular dairy yogurt pouches.
In fairness...if you were looking for it, you would see it. They weren't trying to fraud the customer. Their design just has much bigger yogurt than non-dairy label. No malice on their part, just accidentally bad graphic design. I bought it at the grocery store and my wife missed it as well...she gave it to my daughter.
If you're a parent, you're probably aware. You're in the store, kids are asking to add everything in the cart...usually sugar cereal, candy or something unhealthy with kid-targeted packaging...you have to tell them no 20x and feel like a grumpy jerk stealing their joy. In the case, it was just yogurt...I saw her grab it from the yogurt section and didn't think yogurt wouldn't be dairy.
This is definitely not a cause of mine...just when the EU got their panties in a bunch I thought...yeah...kinda makes sense...probably not in the top 20 of problems facing the EU...but hey, good for them for being able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
