labelling my nuts

So I brought a bag of trail mix to work a little while ago - it was huge, like on the order of a pound. You know the kind with some weird outdoors-y name like "Sierra Mix" that came out of a bulk bin.

The label reads...
ING: Raisins, sunflower seeds, pink-skinned peanuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, canola oil, may contain nuts.

Now I'm all for proper labelling because so many poor souls out there are alergic to just about anything (you name it, somebody's gonna die from it eventually). But I argue that this label is inaccurate. This bag does not carry a risk of nuts ...it IS nuts! And so it this label.
