Junior Mints are made of....?

(An investigative report by Brandon)

I recently finished the eating the last of 5 Junior Mints in a fun size pack (I have another rant about fun size candy packs, but that is for another entry). As I sat thinking of what I should do next, contorting the empty candy box in my fingers, I noticed an odd, perhaps alarming, line of print, "MILK AND EGG MAY BE PRESENT". It seems bizarre to me that after a detailed listing of the candy's ingredients, that the manufacture of the candy is unsure if milk or eggs (two common household foods) are present in the candy. This reminds me of the FDA's current investigation/renovation of food labels in an attempt to provide clarity to consumers (and not simply a blanket legal statement of unaccountability). For example, if you are allergic to peanuts and the candy you debate to buy says, "may contain peanut dust", is that more, less or equally as dangerous as if the lable says "processed on shared equipment"? Ambigous labels force consumers to forgo a potentially tasty treat or take a gamble on how dangerous a product may be. Surely, someone should be able to tell me if there are eggs or milk present in my Junior Mints. After all, there seems to be no question that the mints are "in pure chocolate".
