What is this? Some ice and sorbet products have labels that say they may contain milk and eggs. But their official recipe lists do not include milk or eggs.

What's happening? The labels warn about possible milk and eggs, but the recipes do not list them. This is confusing for people who need to avoid these foods.

Does this affect me? If you must avoid milk or eggs for health reasons, check the label carefully before buying these ices or sorbets.

What should I do? If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before eating the product.
