The makers of Britain's most famous milk chocolate bar have decided to warn their customers that Dairy Milk contains...milk!



Apparently, the name is not enough of warning. Nor is the logo: an image of glass-and-a-half of milk being poured into a chunk of chocolate.

Cadbury Dairy Milk wrappers put milk first in a list of ingredients and explain that there is "the equivalent of three quarters of a pint of fresh liquid milk in every half pound of milk chocolate".

However, Cadbury says it is also necessary to print warnings saying "CONTAINS: MILK" in case people who are allergic to milk do not realise that there is milk in Cadbury Dairy Milk.

The company is printing similar warnings on bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk Whole Nut.

A Cadbury spokesman said the company was complying with the law relating the presence of allergens in food.

But even a support group for people who are allergic to certain foods said Cadbury was going beyond the requirements of the law.

Moira Austin, helpline manager for the Anaphylaxis Campaign said she could understand why people would say Cadbury was "stating the blindingly obvious" or think that the "world had gone mad".

She added: "The law requires manufacturers to list allergens if they are an ingredient. It does not require these additional warnings.

That's the trouble...I thought we all knew that as well They've been saying it since I was a kid. But then again when I was growing up nobody would drop dead because they were in the same room as a peanut

JAS,
Sorry to dissappoint you.....our family has a severe allergy to peanuts.
My Cousin cannot walk into a room where peanuts are being eaten.
After a flight back from New Zealand 5 years ago where the person behind ate peanuts, my cousin was hospitalised and very nearly died.

SO YES YOU CAN DROP DEAD IF A PEANUT IS IN THE ROOM

It is known that some compounds - like sulphoxyls - will assist other compounds to penetrate our skin and mucous membranes.
My pet theory is increasing use of synthetic organic preservatives, artificial colourings and artificial flavourings [commonly tar derived], fillers and "flavour enhancers" etc.
However, I can't back it up with statistics. The list of what is legally allowed on "food" is daunting.
My wife was told she was "allergic to Penicillins" after a reaction, but turned out to be the azo-dye in the capsule.
Then there are potential carcinogens in sunscreens - benzene compounds, and those in diesel fumes, all of which are probably affecting immune systems.

That's why I try to avoid all of these as much as I can, and live outside the cities - I'm hoping to be around for a while yet.
