Hi
I just want you all to be aware piccolo advertise these treats as no nasties but they have in there ingridents

  • Crispy Shell 40% - Rice Flour (49%), Corn Flour, Inulin, Quinoa Flour, Low-Fat Cocoa Powder (6%), Calcium Carbonate, Cream Filling 60% - Sunflower Oil, Hazelnut Paste (15%), Rice Flour, Sweetener: Erythritol, Low-Fat Cocoa Powder (12%), Inulin, Cocoa Butter, *Organic
SWEETNER ERYTHRITOL. :(

which can over a period of time cause problems especially if you are eating other things with this sweetener in it without realising you are

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener. Eating a large amount of it may cause digestive issues, including nausea. It may also be associated with blood clots and heart problems. Sensitivity and symptoms can vary.
check it out on google

why would you want to even give your precious children this
I contacted piccolo by phone and email they said they would look into it and get back to me
yeah you got it they didn't because what they could write about it could be damming
I asked them to use say apple puree to sweeten it and take this nasty sweetener out
but like I said they would not commit themselves

so false advertising in my eye by saying there is no nasties
I will not buy anymore unless they take out that nasty sweetner
and I will always check the ingredients

It is a polyol (sp), known to have a laxative effect if eaten in great quantities. Please don't ever give your child great quantities, then you'll be grand, HTH.

And it is okay to not buy any product for any reason, or none; HTH, too.
