Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 For years I have purchased The Baker's Honey Cinnamon Raisin Rolls and Sliced Bread. The ingredients were basically raisins, org. whole wheat, raw honey, and soybean oil. A couple of weeks ago, after eating a roll and giving one to my son, I felt impressed to read the list of ingredients on the bag of rolls and was astounded to see sugar (refined) and soy protein added to the list of ingredients. The Baker claims that these ingredients were not present before and were recently added without forewarning consumers on the packaging. Can companies add animal ingredients to products without cautioning consumers? The lesson I learned is to read the ingredient list every time I purchase something, even if it is the same product that I've used for years!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Not all " ingredients " are listed. For example, when you buy a potato, there is no way to know if it is genetically modified, unless you buy organic. Is a potato with jellyfish genes vegetarian? admartin5 wrote: For years I have purchased The Baker's Honey Cinnamon Raisin Rolls and Sliced Bread.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 in general the rule is that if they're adding something allergenic then they have to make sure consumers know. which is why when mcdonald's had supposedly made their fries vegan and then a little while ago revealed that they used milk by-products for flavor, everyone freaked out (although WHY vegans want to eat at mcdonald's in the first place is completely beyond me...). so as far as i know, they can add stuff that might " offend " people without saying anything, but nothing allergenic.
