It's not as bad as you think. Grocery stores will just send it back to the manufacturer and re-sticker it.
What a waste of fuel and cause of extra pollutants for nothing
It isn't over nothing, though. Allergen information was missing.
Sure, it seems silly in this case, but not enforcing it also leaves wiggle-room that you really don't want for food labelling, otherwise companies could just start leaving stuff out of it because it's "obvious".
No-one with a nut allergy wants to be unexpectedly landed in the morgue because the company didn't put "contains cashews" in the label for their satay, since it's obvious, as nearly every satay sauce on the market contains cashews.
Oof, so to prove your point, I always thought satay was peanuts.
Just pay the end companies to put stickers on it
