Intended buying some of this Asda choccy until I noticed the ingredients included "hydrogenated vegetable oil"!! So, sorry but I won't be trying this one, It's back to Cadbury's for the time being.

Horasio

Most chocolate contains it.

I bought some to try but not had any yet

I very much doubt that it does.

That said, if you're on this site, you're on the internet, so you could simply do what I did and type your question into Google and get the answer without leaving yourself open to sarcastic replies.

In any case, it seems like hydrogenation is quite a complex business.

For example, from

http://www.natural-health-information-centre.com/hydrogenated-fats.html

'hydrogenation allows the manufacturer to turn a liquid oil into something that resembles the totally natural food, butter in colour, texture, "mouth feel" and taste, whilst it is clearly something VERY different. In doing so, natural oils are converted into totally unnatural fats, which not only had never existed before, but which have completely different effects on the body than their natural counterparts. Many of these compounds are so called "trans fats", many of which do not occur naturally and which are known to have serious health implications, not just in relation to heart disease, but also to cancer, diabetes, obesity, pregnancy and the function of the immune system'.

I have used this in my fountain with no problems at all. It is delicious and even at the normal price it is a bargain.
