Just because you can eat them, doesn’t mean you should eat them.

Why isn’t everything labeled “do not eat” then? Why just these packets?

Presumably because they’re often included in things you’re meant to consume. Someone who has never encountered them may think they’re part of the product. It’s obvious to all of us, because we’ve experienced them all our lives, but that won’t be true for everyone.

Such as instant noodle packs. There’s 1-3 similar packs with spices and sauce you’re supposed to open and pour on the noodles, but this pack is not meant to be eaten

I get these things in boxes of fasteners for the welding press I operate in a factory.

They aren’t making them specifically for food. They make one type that anyone who needs it buys. It needs the message for when it’s used with food, but that doesn’t mean it’s only ever used with food.

They probably just cargo culted the text.
Most probably, the regulatory authorities did too.

You never get small snack packets with your steel fasteners?
