The Answer

The correct answer is: The modern allergy warning icon on the milk carton and the disposable plastic clamshell box are the two wrong items..

Here is why

  2. The first wrong detail is the modern allergy warning icon on the milk carton.
  3. The second wrong detail is the disposable plastic clamshell takeout box among the trays.
