Cadbury's reply re Frys Chocolate Cream & Bourneville

[Guest guest]

This is a reply re. Frys Chocolate Cream & Bourneville that somebody else

posted to another list;

 

Thank you for your recent enquiry concerning the suitability of our

products for a vegan/dairy free diet.

 

All of our products contain milk in their ingredients, with the exception of

Fry's Chocolate Cream, Peppermint Cream and

Orange Cream. However, these products are manufactured on the same

production line as products which contain milk in

their recipe and therefore there is a possibility of cross contamination.

For those consumers with a milk allergy we are taking

the precaution of including on future labelling of our Fry's range, a

warning indicating this risk.

 

The recipe for Bournville the original plain chocolate is changing its site

of manufacture and the new recipe will contain

butterfat, which we believe will make it unsuitable for a vegan/dairy free

diet.

 

We do appreciate how disappointing this must be for you but please be

assured we will be monitoring the situation closely.

 

Thank you for contacting us.

 

Regards

Charlie

Ah, those good old Linda McCartney-like market forces surface again,

demanding that products must not be vegan! After all, who can argue

against the logic of reducing the size of your marketplace at a

stroke....
