Commentary:

We should take care about what we eat and drink. I recommend and i think its a good advice that all of us look at the labels of the ingredients of the products. So we can notice all the thins that is added to certain food products. About this lemon case there are many more that happened actually and we don’t know.

On the other hand, we have the people who create or do this lemon juice that don’t put in the label this and is a serious problem, because someone could have suffered vomiting (for example) as it puts in the summary.
