I just opened an overpriced can of fancy soup and on the label, along with the expected stuff like 'gluten-free' and 'GMO-free,' was 'mustard free' and 'celery free.' Is that a thing now? - eviltoast

Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price… but I see the word ‘coconut’ and I can’t resist.

    Weird, I know people can be alergic to basically anything but I’ve neaver heard about those alergies. Are we talking about alergies as in full blown anaphylaxis or an alergies as in severe gastric distress?

      My sisters tongue swells up pretty badly if she has any mustard. Validated it with ground mustard seed. I had never heard of it either before that, but we did some googling and it’s a thing.

      I’d bet on the answer being “both”. As for percentages either way, I wouldn’t want to guess.

      The irony with gastric distress is that it can make you wish yourself dead while it’s going on. For this I can speak from experience. Certain milk-derived proteins and I no longer get along.
