Revisited topic; Cadburys- creme eggs, free range or not?

Recommended Posts

I put it out on twitter...

Julia Kendell, BHWT patron, retweeted it to her followers to tell them about it and tweeted me back! :D

"That's appalling Lewis. I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up."

 

Hopefully thats a bit more support and that something comes from it...

 

Also emailed BHWT and will let you know if I get a reply.

Dear Jimmy

 

I am writing to you because you are on of the patrons of the BHWT and in a better position than me to get an answer to the following issue.

 

In 2008 Compassion in World Farming awarded Cadburys a ‘good egg award’ for their promise to move over to using free range eggs in their crème eggs. Me and several other concerned friends have been contacting Cadbury (now Kraft) every year and asking whether this change has happened and we keep getting told they have had trouble sourcing a supply but that the change is imminent. Other friends have been told the change has already happened but we can find no confirmation of this on their web site and we would have thought they’d be shouting it from rooftops or at least stating it in their adverts. Because of the conflicting information and the lack of evidence, we don’t believe the change has occurred.

 

Please would you investigate and let me and my concerned friends know what’s going on with regards to this.

 

Many thanks

 

Justine

And you're quite right about Cadburys, it's very frustrating and we do have plans to take this issue up if they don't announce a free range creme egg by this Easter.

I appreciate your support in writing to them, we will possibly ask our supporters to help us with a campaign again if we don't hear positive news very soon.

 

Thanks.

 

Best wishes

Justine, sorry I’m not posting my picture with this reply, but my profile isn’t working properly. Thanks for your question. I’m pleased to let you know that we followed through on our 2008 commitment – all UK and Ireland Cadbury Crème Eggs are made with free range eggs. Premal

Hi Justine,

 

 

Thank you for the mail and my apologies for the tardy reply.

I am of the understanding that Cadburys have indeed changed to free range, but I am undergoing further investigation to confirm this.

If it transpires that this is untrue, I will do my utmost to raise awareness of the fact on the run up to their busiest time of year.

 

 

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I'll keep you posted.

 

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Julia

just got this on twitter from CIWF

 

ciwf @BarefacedPoet Reassurance from @Kraft "all UK and Ireland creme eggs use free range eggs and have done so for over a year" GoodEggAward ok

 

 

isn't it odd that there's no mention of free range eggs on their creme egg web page and no mention on the ads :think:

It does seem odd.... but it may be that they think that people may be put off eating them if they know that real eggs are used. People can be a bit funny,
