A noble calling: keeping Norwegian pervs safe

Wow, it sounds like being a food safety inspector in Norway is really exciting. Well, not really:
Norway's largest erotic chain store was forced to change the labeling on products such as penis pasta, candy cuffs and chocolate body painting, to comply with Norwegian food regulations.
I'm not sure I want to know what penis pasta is. Actually, I'm positive that I don't want to know what it is.
The Norwegian food safety authority, whose goal it is to make sure consumers have healthy and safe food, conducted a surprise inspection at one of the chain's stores and found that several products violated food labeling regulations, top-selling tabloid VG reported on Tuesday.

"We were a bit surprised to have the food safety authority on inspection. Food is not really our core product," Kjersti Antonsen, a sexual adviser in the store, told VG.

Products containing food must be marked with a Norwegian label, listing all ingredients.

The food safety authority also said the store also breached rules of importing erotic candy, which should be reported to authorities at least 24 hours before arrival.
Um, does that 24 hour rule apply to all imported candy, or just the erotic stuff?
