    There’s a lot of space between a food that’s dangerous to touch, and foods that require effort to eat safely.

    A warning that the coffee is hot isn’t enough to meaningfully disclose that the coffee will do severe damage if you touch it, while a disclaimer that boneless wings may contain bone fragments does enough to disclose that there may be bone fragments. Lots of other foods have bones and bone fragments, and are eaten in near perfect safety very frequently. There are no other foods routinely served so hot that they will cause burns, specifically because they are always unsafe.

      Man idk, Im able to prepare my chicken, beef, pork or fish in a manner that ensures no bones slip thru. This can be especially trying with certain fish. But if I can do it, so can a company. If a company can’t figure out how to do that and sell it at a price point they want, maybe they just shouldn’t be selling that.

      We don’t see fugu on the shelves next to deli made California rolls. tragically

        Yeah but you do it by hand, and the manufacturer of the boneless wings want to continue to do it in a cheap way with machinery.

        Do you really want them to spend more money? /S
