Letter from cadbury re Frys

[yvie]

Hi all
In answer to my enquiry about dairy free products I have received this reply, thought you may be interested.........................


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.

Bournville, the original plain chocolate, is changing its site of manufacture to the Cadbury factory in France where vegetable fat is not currently used. The new recipe Bournville will therefore contain butterfat, which 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.

Thanks for posting that information. Why do I never see Fry's bars anywhere? I used to love them when I was a child. I really like Bourneville too but not since they have included butterfat. :(

I can never find the Fry's bars in London, but they're in all the newsagents in Devon... bizarre.

You can get multi packs of Frys chocolate cream in Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys, and some big garages sell single ones as well as some corner shops. Holland and Barret usually do at least one of the flavours too if thats any help
