A word in the ears of Mars and Cadbury. Back in 2007, on the advice of the Food Standards Agency, you promised to ban six artificial colours from your chocolates and sweets by the end of 2008, and repeated the promise last year.
But last week, Cadbury Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs both had some of the offending colours, as did Mars' Choozers and Revels. Probably just a mix-up in the diary, but watch out – the Food Commission is after you!
