Lets change it!  It would be great to start a letter writing campaign about
it.
The other problem is:  We change the law, but who enforces it?  It bothers
me so much that some companies can get away with lying when listing
ingredients.   I bought these cookies that list no milk (lactose, milk,
casein) ingredients.  And they make me so sick!  I get the same reaction in
my guts that I get with whey or lactose or milk powder.  I can swear it
contains milk. Nothing listed in the ingredients.
If I had the money I would have them tested by a laboratory to make a
complain since I don't know what you can do as it is. Monica
