Following on from the success of our campaign with Covent Garden Soups to get them to use free range eggs in their new quiches :dance::dance: I'd like to take on Premier Foods, aka Mr Kipling, who currently use dried egg in their products. While they seem to be thinking about moving over some time in the future, they certainly don't seem to be getting on with it.

 

Here's their response to my friend's email to them - I have also just been in touch with them:

 

Dear *******,

 

Thank you for your email regarding eggs Its always good to receive feedback and we appreciate the time taken to contact us.

 

We are hoping to move towards using free range eggs in the very near furture but at present we use dried egg only

 

We can confirm that your comments have now been forwarded on to our marketing department for their information.

 

Kind regards

 

 

Premier Foods

 

They make it sound like dried eggs are better then battery..... Not so! :roll:

I used to love those fondant fancies, until about 8 years ago when I found out about the provenance of their eggs :roll:

 

Trouble is, when you buy stuff from the markets they have no outer carton on, so no makers details and no ingredients :evil:

 

I've just noticed they are called French fancies, I always thought they were fondant fancies :roll::lol:

Mr Kipling is here - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mr-Kipling/103714066334088?v=stream&ref=ts

 

There is also one for Premier Foods which has 3 followers but one of the comments on that page uses a word not allowed on this forum so I'm not linking to it.

 

I found that "other" page - I hope it's not by an employee :shock:

 

Thank you for the proper link, Lydia :)

I love French Fancies and also Battenburg (although the Mr K ones offer a pathetic amount of marzipan :evil::lol: )

 

However, since I started my label-scrutinization campaign (since I've had the girls, basically) Mr K products have been right off the menu. I would love a French Fancy or a Battenburg - but not enough to buy a Mr K.

 

I see an e-mail coming on :D

Do M&S do them? They've rescued me with my urge for Walnut Whips and salad cream!

 

Despite a good campaign about their ethical stance - free range eggs, fair trade coffee etc M&S only do this in their own brand products they are now selling am increasing range of branded products which don't meet their own standards eg Heinz salad cream, Nescafe coffee :evil:

 

When I emailed them about my disappointment with this this their reply said "Our customers’ convenience is at the heart of our decision, and having a range of branded items in our stores will save them time and mean that they will be able to do more of their weekly shop with us."

:evil::evil::evil:

 

Funnily enough, I emailed them about selling Cadbury creme eggs and Heinz salad cream only yesterday :whistle:

 

Perhaps we have our next campaign in the sidelines ;)

 

OH! And the Ben & Jerrys Fairtrade Brownie icecream? "Fair for farmers, fair for coffee producers, fair for the dairy cows..." I thought, "And what about the chickens producing eggs for the brownies???"

 

No mention of them - so I went on their website and guess what? They use FREE RANGE EGGS! :dance:
