The Szechuan Peppercorns of Doom

Found this odd bit of information on a package of szechuan peppercorns. Note, these are supposed to be used the same as normal peppercorns:

"Servings per container: 4"

"Serving size: 28g"

"USER WARNINGS"

"Do not eat as a snack. Raw food please wash under tap water at least 5 minutes before cooking. Please cook in hot boiling water for 30 minutes before consuming."

"Contains sulfites"

Something tells me that the person at this company who knows English does not know how to cook.
