Rice With Death

How could I have not seen this before?

For about seven years now – SEVEN YEARS – we've been regularly visiting the same takeaway restaurant, and only now do I discover the shocking truth buried deep in a medium-sized font, in a reasonably prominent position near the bottom on the back page:

Dishes on this menu may contain allergies

I don't like those odds.

So, now I'm wondering: is it just the case that some of the dishes that may contain allergies, or am I some sort of miracle of nature to have made it through this many years without even contracting so much as hay fever?

EDIT: And exactly how difficult would it be to include a warning that dishes on this menu may contain peas?
