EVERY DAY IS A NEW POST THIS WEEK! CHECK YOUR LABELS!


Every day this week there will be a new post! So make sure you check back every day and see what is new on the blog!

ALWAYS CHECK INGREDIENTS!

I am sure you all know this by now however, I am always surprised by some of what I see in some food items.

I was at the Supermarket with my boyfriend and as usual, I had a sweet tooth...yeah, what else is new? I spotted these and I got intrigued.
I read the ingredients:

Ingredients:
Maltitol Syrup, Maltitol, Vitiam D Evaporated Milk, Sorbitol, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Butter (Milk), Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Xylitol, Calcium Caseinate (Milk), Milkfat, Contains 1% or less of the following: Food Starch Modified , Whey Protein (MIlk), Lactitol, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Egg White (with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), Fish Gelatin, Soya Lecithin (an Emulsifier), Partially Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Cocoa Powder, Milk Protein Isolate, Inulin, Sucralose, Acesulfame K

GROSS. I LOVE chocolate. I however do not want fish in my chocolate. Are you guys going to eat these? Let me know! I know that a lot of you are not vegetarian. Let me know your thoughts!

I certainly wouldn't want fish in my chocolate. However, more alarming for me are the 1st 2 ingredients: Maltitol Syrup & Maltitol. I don't consume any product with these ingredients as it's origin is wheat, and if you're gluten free that's a red flag. They say the wheat goes through this process that extracts all the gluten, but a) what does that leave, and b) really? I don't believe it. Just use a different ingredient. Plus I've gotten sick from products with maltiotl in them.

I dont eat those ingredients so I would have not purchased the chocolate. I was just surprised to see fish.
