Progresso - Unexpected ingredient in soup
I have been enjoying Progresso soups for decades. Recently I purchased 3 cans of Light Savory Beef Barley Vegetable, which variety I had not tried previously.
Imagine my surprise when, upon emptying the contents into a M?W safe bowl, I discovered mushrooms. I have a severe allergy to mushrooms, & had never before encountered them in any beef barley soups, by any manufacturer. When I checked the ingredients list, they were listed in the "Contains less than 2% of" group, altho I found several large pieces, seems there were more mushrooms than beef.
Why on Earth would a company, in today's age of allergies & sensitivities, not list this ingredient more prominently? Perhaps they've always put mushrooms in this variety (as they are a cheap & plentiful filler), but I can promise I won't be purchasing this particular variety again.
Reason of review: Unexpected/unwanted ingredient.
Preferred solution: Please indicate possible allergens more prominently.

Wait a sec... it IS listed.
So the real issue is YOU DIDN'T READ!!!!! Your infirmity aside whatโs the issue? It is listed as one of the ingredients. You canโt read the fine print and magically itโs all their fault?
IF you have a actual allergy and not just some childish dislike that youโve turned into a โallergyโ then you know to READ EVERYTHING!!! Every scrap of information presented on the item you wish to purchase. Since you didnโt do that it can be supposed that you donโt have a actual allergy and that you presumed all recipes are the same and now blame them because you chose not to read. Hereโs a novel idea, bring your glasses next time so you can READ.
Itโs amazing you people just will not accept responsibility of ANY KIND!!!! Itโs ALWAYS someone elseโs fault when YOU FAIL!!!! How about a post about how YOU are actually responsible for not reading and you donโt prefer mushrooms? You know just admitting to the entire world that in this instance you failed.
Utterly and completely failed because you lost good money due solely to the choice YOU made to not read. I know that will never happen because you are completely unable to admit fault.
