crumpets without the junk?

[vannah]

DS (nearly 3) saw me eating a crumpet and decided to try some, now loves them and asks for them every day.
Feel guilty giving them to him as I select his bread carefully. Trying to avoid the loaves with E's and preservatives etc.

We dont eat a totally organic diet, but I do try to cut out the preservatives/chemicals wherever possible

anyone know where I can get some junk free crumpets from? Sainsbury's are no good..

thankyou

mmmmm GOREGOUS - we love them with melted cheese slices on

thankyou all. This IS very useful and Im glad I posted this. Now, I did NOT know at all about some E numbers being ok, I have been living under the impression that theyre all bad. OMDB- thanks for typing out tesco's ingredients, Talilac Im looking up that link in a minute

meanwhile, anyone care to shed light on these 2 for me please:

Acidity Regulator (Glucono-Delta-Lactone), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate).

[SpangleMaker]

Potassium sorbate in pure form is listed as a skin/eye/respiratory irritant - BUT that is from safety info for people handling the solid (for example, ethanoic acid [the acid found in vinegar] is listed as harmful, corrosive) rather than the tiny, tiny amounts found in a single crumpet.

Glucono delta-lactone is naturally occurring - found in honey, fruit juices and wine.

I wouldn't worry about either of them.

[I'm an ex-chemist and crumpet fan, hence the interest!!!]
