Incan fucking descent another product ruined

[iskegness]

After chatting about Scotland this morning I've been fancying some Tunnocks tea cakes. Managed to get some at lunch time for a treat.

However they've only gone and fucking added palm oil. I'm sure they never used to do this.

Is there no chocolate product that hasn't been ruined?

Aibu to think palm oil products should have a warning?

The dairy fine hasn't got palm oil - I just double checked.

South African Dairy Milk is still proper. I'd forgotten that I used to love it, until I ate some out there. Here, it's a palm oiled greasy fat block.

DM just brought Whittakers chocolate back from a trip to New Zealand. The first chocolate I have enjoyed for ages. Not even going to buy a cream egg this year.

Divine chocolate is lovely - Oxfam stock it. And Waitrose.

Irish Dairy Milk is how it used to be and no palm oil. Our local corner shop sells it (NI) but you can get it online.

Amazon does it too: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?k=new+zealand+dairy+milk&tag=mumsnetforum-21

The rocky road one is lovely.

Do whittakers use palm oil? A colleague brought back bars of that from NZ once and it was divine.

I hate to tell you but Barr’s have changed IRU BRU by cutting the sugar!

Tesco do a nice own-brand palm oil-free chocolate. Also Green & Blacks have avoided the cheap substitute ingredient.

YANBU - the stuff is everywhere. I had to give up one of my favourite hair creams (Kerastase) as it had palm oil listed in the ingredients. [anger] . The majority of soap now has palm derivatives in too.

crumbs - not sure you're right about the Irish version of Dairy Milk either - the .ie site lists palm oil as an ingredient. It may be that the Irish factory hasn't messed around with the recipe proportions in the same way as they did with the UK so the taste isn't so different?

Waitrose own chocolate doesn't have palm oil and I think its lovely

Lindt doesn't use palm oil either in plain chocolate, only in filled truffles and things.

There are sustainable palm oil plantations these days-does the packaging/website state the source?

Do it Yorick!

I went from complete omnivore to vegan overnight back in June last year. Best thing I’ve ever done; for the animals, the planet and myself!

Bloody palm oil though. It’s virtually impossible to avoid

I really detest tunnocks tea cakes. Partial to a dark chocolate caramel wafer though, are they ok?

Sainsbury's own brand chocolate is good, I can recommend that one if they've not added palm oil to that too

THeyve done something heinous to Toblerone too. Had some last week and it was so disappointing.

Milka is a nice, cheap milk chocolate.

Divine is a good (and ethical) upgrade though, as mentioned earlier.

Without palm oil, obviously.

I don't get it. With so many people saying they've practically stopped eating chocolate, why haven't the powers that be accepted defeat and gone back to their original recipe. They must be losing millions surely. Can't we start a MCGA campaign. Make Chocolate Great Again!

I like Lindt, Milka, Bellarom from Lidl and Galaxy still seems to be ok?

Oooh and Ritter Sport. Yummy.

Bonzo

Agree with you about Toblerone. Used to love it but now don't buy it.

Divine chocolate and Tesco's own brand milk chocolate are palm oil free. They're my favourites now all the others taste wierd.

Divine doesn't taste of anything IMO. Green & Blacks, whilst owned by Kraft (they were bought by Cadbury I think, before the 'merger') still tastes good and is palm oil and soya free.
