	I am sorry I confused anybody.  I just reported what I had read 
in the paper and heard on nightly news about the 'hazard to your 
health things.  If the above are not 'hazards to your health,' then I 
clearly don't understand the meaning of the phrase.  Allergic 
reactions make one sick, and to me, that is a hazard.  Bacterial 
contamination is a hazard, too. Wouldn't that make one sick, too, if 
you ate the product?

   Nor am I.
