BOB is marked because food-packaging rules require it. These are pre-packaged items, no different than what you might purchase at a retail store.

Once a carrier plates meals, those restrictions go away.

If you order a special meal for any medical reason where contamination matters, e.g. peanut products and the like, do not rely on F/J plated food. The meal may well not contain any such product, but unless the meal comes separately wrapped on its own service item, it has sat in a cart and on plates used for other foods and handled by FA's handling those foods.

If your medical needs are severe, counting on anything from an air carrier is not worth it against the price of bringing onboard what you know you can eat and rely on.
