And let me be clear, all this halal and kosher crap is precisely that,
-however-
a good friend of mine has a serious health issue and mislabeled food products can be an extremely serious problem for him, I have to admonish food purveyors of all stripes that getting the damn labels correct is a vital function of your business.
In my 12 stepper orbit, I have only encountered a very few instances of this sort; some chocolates many years ago that were really boozy spring to mind, and sometimes a restaurant menu won't be real clear about alcohol in deserts. And while (to date) I have been impervious to such accidents, I know quite a few I would not want to see challenged this way. I'm not a total butt about this, I've had a (very) few St. Pauli Girl NAs over the years, and am aware a few of my friends enjoy O'Douls. I've been known to have a dipper of Banana's Foster over a bowl of ice cream occasionally and it has not been a problem. I would not do that around quite a few 12 Steppers I know, however.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
