Celery Comes with Warning Labels in Europe

Those nice folks over the European Union are slightly more advanced that we Americans when it comes to warning the public about the dangers of celery.

In some countries of the EU, such as France, Germany and Switzerland, celery is one of the most common foods to cause allergic reactions in adults, much like peanuts in the U.S.

In fact, it's SO dangerous there that since November 2005, a food labeling rule was established that requires that pre-packaged food sold in the UK and EU be clearly marked as containing celery if the ingredients contain any amount of celery.
