    Yuck!

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=264642924

    Ingredients list here.

    I suspect the "meat and animal derivatives" includes the cochineal colour (E120) rather than meat which otherwise doesn't feature in the ingredients. E171 is a mineral derivative. The rest is pretty standard.
    I don't understand what's so YUCK about the ingredients. Care to elaborate?

    I like my chocolate to be actually chocolate not a combination of stuff to make it taste like people think chocolate should taste like.

    Ignoring the fact that US chocolate isn't "proper" chocolate...:D

    There's nothing there to suggest that the chocolate part of M&Ms is adulterated with all the "contains..." noted above. The cereals, colours etc are in the shell casing around the chocolate! Of course someone who likes their chocolate would take issue with this, and I will suggest Freddie that you ignore this thread, don't buy M&Ms and leave them for those who like their chocolate encased in a candy shell.

    Which incidentally isn't me either but I'm happy that those who do can get such a good deal on them.

    Ha! The later part of this thread is so stupid. People going on about whether meat derivatives in m&ms should be viewed as yucky or not: of course it is! Surely you HAVE also read that the next ingredient is fish, and that someone further up the thread spotted that the description is for CAT food?!! Bahaha! :rotfl::T:rotfl:

    EDIT: (In other words, descriptions within the Amazon ad have been merged for two VERY different products).:o

    You do realise now that you were talking about cat food ingredients :D Care to change your mind?

    I wouldn't dare buy them, we'd finish them all in a few nights. Not a good idea :)
