Easter treats and labels

I still miss jelly beans. I think I can have the Smucker's sours, but I haven't seen them this year.

Jelly Belly claims they're gluten free, but they still put "modified food starch" in the ingredients. So I try and boycott such labels on the prinicple. CLARIFY THE DARN LABEL!!! If Campbells can, you can too.

I know the Cadbury chocolate eggs are okay to eat. My problem is that I can eat half a package in the hour and half while doing my taxes! They're so addicting.

But I've been such a dark chocolate snob these days, I rationalized my denial of the Cadbury eggs because it isn't dark chocolate.

Well, guess what I found at the grocery store on Sunday.

Yup. But I only bought one package of the dark chocolate Cadbury eggs.

*yum*

I'll probably be buying several packages the day after Easter and hiding them all around the house. So I can be surprised all year round when I stumble across a package.

But going back to food labels. My mom buys this barbeque sauce that she only finds at the butcher. It's pretty good for a thin BBQ sauce. But the label isn't very clear using terms like "vinegar" (is it distilled vinegar?), and "Worchestire sauce" (some brands are okay, others are not). I emailed the company, and never got a response. So I just said "heck with it, we'll see what happens". I didn't get sick.

Last week my mom bought a new bottle for the ribs she bought. I looked at it to see if they changed their label. They had. It now says "Gluten-Free" on the back.

Kinda nice that they did address my gluten concerns.
