traces of food

Some guests, when they leave self-catering accommodation, have managed to convert all their purchases into meals, leaving maybe half a tomato (who leaves half a tomato??!) or equivalent, in the fridge. Others have over-purchased to an extraordinary degree and it requires a car to empty the fridge at the end of their stay. A friend once jokingly suggested we all have tee-shirts printed with;
“We survive on your left-overs, please don't buy rubbish”

The list of ingredients on this carton is;
Water, totally hydrogenated vegetable oils {palm oil 26.7%}, sugar, stabilisers {E420ii, E463}, milk proteins, emulsifiers {E472e, E322, soya lecithin, E472b}, salt, flavours, colouring; b-carotene {E160a}

My guess is that milk and soya could be interpreted as traces of food.

The Greek wording on this packaging says;
“Product with natural fat” and “for preparing whipped cream”

The Italian wording includes U.H.T but beyond that I neither know nor care. I can't quite understand why anybody might want to Ultra-Heat-Treat this product, or make it, or sell it, or buy it.

So the dog is getting it on mouldy bread for breakfast because he just adores 'bread and milk' regardless of the quality of the ingredients. That and the fact he's about ten years old and far too old for it to cause him any lasting damage. If we didn't fill him up with this he would likely devour the contents of the cat-litter tray, which quite probably has greater food value.
