How can they put that in the chocolate?-for Modern Women

G&B uses *RAW* sugar! It's not whitened!!!! Raw sugar is NEVER touched by bones!

And yes, there is not only blood but pus allowed in milk! The vacuum machines tend to cause sores on cows udders that then under suction ooze the stuff into the milk. Lovely, isn't it!

Edit:

Just to clarify matters; raw sugar is raw because it hasn't been through that final filtering stage! That means it should always be safe unless it's fake raw sugar (that has actually happened!).

No it is not true! It is organic.....

I have never heard that.
Their website certainly does not say anything about it. http://www.greenandblacks.com/uk/frombea...
I can't see why a company that bases it's who product range and sales pitch around its food being high quality, natural and organic would use cheap animal biproduct as an non-essential ingredient. It seems foolish beyond belief for them to risk their whole company on something as silly as using a cheap whitening agent.
Also animal bones are usually used as a gelling agent, they possibly would give the chocolate a chewy texture which I certainly have never noticed.

don't believe everything you read or hear, none of it is true

WHERE DID YOU HEAR THIS FROM ITS ALL RUBBISH DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.

The cows bleed from the machines that are put on them so blood, most likely, does touch and infect their milk. I pretty much hate labels because of the hidden ingredients. Like gelatin is crushed up animal bone and lard is animal fat. They put gelatin in a lot of things as a preservative and they want you to think it's a jello like substance but it isn't.

i thought all g&b choc was veggie???

The producers will be careful to avoid that-their reputation depends on it.

This is sold as a vegetarian product, I really dont think the producers would risk the sort of bad publicity that would occur if they used animal bones and then put a vegetarian label on it.

Dont believe everything you hear. As for cows blood touching cows milk, well the milk is in the cows udders, how can it touch the blood?

The key word here is proof.

These stories are probably spread by vegans who dont want people to eat products with milk in.

Chocolate's bad for you anyway.

no green and black do not do this.

Anything approved by the vegan society will be vegan - green and black's is fine - I very much doubt they use animal bones to whiten the sugar - I don't think it's very many companies that do do it - if you want to make sure the sugar you buy at home isn't then buy golden sugar.

That is true for all processed sugar.

Do you really think that vegetarian stuff is strictly from vegetables? They put all kind of crap in it just like they do for normal food.
