Bad news for veggie chocoholics!

[Earthbabe]

Only get that when a patient buys is. I think it is made by Nestle and I don't buy that on principle. So no smarties for Miss EB either even though they no longer have artificial colours in them still made by that company.

Even in veggie factories, you can never be sure that an ooompaloompa hasn't fallen into the mixer SBP.....

Don't worry Mr Wonka(No not Tony Blair) will sort it out.

Many brewerys used to use fish swim bladders as finings I'm not sure wheather thy do now??

And some Wine makers used to Ox blood to filter wine and at the turn off the last century Tea had so much dodgy stuff in it I doubt if it would be allowed these days.

I know it's fun to joke about it, but really, even if you do eat meat, do you REALLY want the linining of baby cows' stomachs in your chocolate?!

Especially given that there's a vegetarian alternative, which they've been happily using for years... but oh they need more profit don't they?

I think that's what annoys me about it, that they've been "veggie" for years, and have just decided to change...

(Prefer Green & Blacks Maya Gold myself...)

I dont really know whats all the fuss is about - its also been used in the cheese making process for years - people have got an option - or should we wait for the nanny state to make a decision for us. If you dont like it dont eat it.

I agree wonder if it will taste any diferant
and as L J siad ther will bring it back as vegi and charge more
it all boils down to money profit

wonder if we can grow owr own then what will there do

[OverWyreGrower]

If I could grow my own chocolate, I'd have started a long time ago!!

Hah ha, I bet you fed your kids beefburgers didn't you.

Oh and apparently in cheese-making veggie rennet is often preferred as it is more stable!

Blessed are the cheese-makers!

lol I wish, her Mum was a Chef, mind you I use to slip some blood in her milk and she does like her red meat rare but its all healthy stuff these days all very boring - never ever drank tea or coffee in her life and refuses to get therapy about it.

These chocolates are no longer Halal, so the middle east market is down the pan. They love their rubbish chocolates too.


I used to eat lots of this type of stuff, but one day about 5 years ago, I just bought a bar or real chocolate (70% cocoa) and I was converted. I have never eaten so much as a twix since then. It really is disgusting.

Most rennet is produced by bacteria these days anyway. I really don't know what they are thinking of putting animal rennet in the chocolate.

[newgardengirl]

I prefer Green & Black's these days but I'm sure I eat "cheaper" chocolate occasionally.

All I can say is that, if their business is doing so well that they can afford to lose loads of customers, then good luck to 'em. I'm not going to make a big fuss about it but I'm simply going to vote with my purse.

YEAH, i'm with you lot....that stuff isn't chocolate, its candy.
