Newsflash: Milk Chocolate contains milk

Cadbury warns milk chocolate has milk

A British chocolate maker said a new warning label will inform consumers of milk content in milk chocolate, even though "milk" is in the candy's name.

Cadbury said the famous Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar -- which lists milk first on the ingredients list and explains that the bars contain "the equivalent of three quarters of a pint of fresh liquid milk in every half pound of milk chocolate" -- will soon bear an additional message reading "CONTAINS: MILK," Sky News reported Monday.

A spokesman for Cadbury said the warning is aimed at complying with laws that govern the presence of allergens in food.

However, Moira Austin, helpline manager for the Anaphylaxis Campaign food allergy support group, said Cadbury is merely "stating the blindingly obvious."

"The law requires manufacturers to list allergens if they are an ingredient. It does not require these additional warnings," she said.

KInda like the warning on McDonald's coffee. Careful, the hot coffee is hot! And watch out!! The hot apple pie is hot, too. What the f*** is next, a warning that ice cream is cold and may give you "brain freeze".

 

[Chewy]

Or like the warning that Peanut Butter contains Peanuts

 

[Addendum]

Warning: Peanut Butter contains peanuts.

Or like the warning that Peanut Butter contains Peanuts

Get out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[imdaly]

WTF...that's NOT the concern I have with Cadbury's products!

I don't CARE if there's milk in their milk chocolate. I'm not allergic to MILK.

Once again they dodge my TRUE concern: Is there any CHOCOLATE in their milk chocolate??

Will SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER THIS?!?!

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

And this is news?!

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

I once knew a girl who would fake having all manner of problems just for attention. One day she was talking about how she was allergic to milk, moments before snacking on a dairy milk bar.

 

[Lobo]

Nice wording Morg

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

Or like the warning that Peanut Butter contains Peanuts

Yeah I got that on my peanut butter jar

The Next Warning from Cadbury:

Cadbury Creme Eggs: Do not let your Chickens sit on them.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Newsflash: peanut butter contains peanuts :P

 

[Moridin]

That's udderly ridiculous.

Oh for f*** sake :facepalm

I'd just like to point out, if someone is allergic to MILK and that person is stupid enough to eat a Cadbury's MILK Chocolate bar while failing to realize that it contains MILK, then the extra warning of "CONTAINS MILK" is not going to make one blind bit of difference.

"What if it kills them" you say.
Well then you celebrate! The average IQ of the world just got a bit higher.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

Newsflash: peanut butter contains peanuts :P

ironically everything that contains nuts must by law have a warning saying

"this product may contain nuts"

 

[Raiden]

Newsflash: peanut butter contains peanuts :P

But does strawberry jam contain strawberry?

 

[Dark Helmet]

This completely changes the way I view life Sure I & any other sane person already knew this but to have it said & confirmed & put on the carton oh it's a life changing event Life will never be the same again when drinking Chocolate Milk Or a Milk Shake
