bummer.... never occurred to me that creme eggs actually had egg in them....

I love them too.... however, no more until they change their mind!

Hate the things but thankfully Cadbury don't exist in France! That's one thing I don't bring back from England!

Thank you, MMM - I've found it now!

I craved them while pregnant with my 1st and loved dipping veggie babies (jelly babies for vegies) in. Quite disgusting I know, thankfully that 'taste' went but I still LOVE the creme eggs and as a non-nestle, and a veggie I am already limited on Sweeties!! Well one less ain't conna make much difference! I will write to them tonight I NEED them to go free range!!!!!

Argh. I did like Creme eggs...

I will sign when i get home. Can't do petitions from work pooters...they have something against it...!

I've signed it too.
I wonder how many other products will come to light like this


PS..Good on Hellmans...

Noodles were one that took me by surprise. I don't know why, they even call them 'egg noodles', but somehow it was only a few months ago I actually thought about it....

I'm another one who didn't know they had real egg in!!
I'm usually pretty up with these things but it just didn't occur to me.
I LOVE creme eggs but gave up eating eggs a month or so ago so it's a good job I saw this post.
Signed this petition with gusto and forwarded it to everyone in my address book.

I think creme eggs are disgusting, but signed anyway

Done - your sub-campaign has got the petition count up to 1525, 9ball. Well done.

This is what I emailed to Cadbury

Dear Cadbury

As a chocolate lover I don't want my treat to have caused pain and
suffering to any animal! Please would you change to free range eggs!

Thanks

I signed it Terry x didn't intend to add a kiss - they prob' think I'm mad!

Cadbury’s reply; -

Thanks for your recent enquiry regarding the very small amount of egg we
use in our Crème Eggs.

We are currently exploring the option of using only free-range eggs in
our recipe. There are issues, however, around supply and traceability so
it's not possible at the moment, but it is certainly an option we are
considering.

We do appreciate your feedback and please be assured that no comments go
unheard.

Thank you once again for taking the time and trouble to contact us.

Regards
Charlie

Not sure what they mean by 'issues' or why only containing a very small amount egg makes it ok

btw I don't eat them either, I agree they're discusting but Cadbury don't know that!

It will be interesting to see if you all get the same reply!

What do you think they mean by traceability? Supply I can understand - for supply, read cost. But traceability? FR eggs are as traceable as battery or organic as far as I am aware.

I am tempted to email them now myself!

Here's my swift, but strangely familiar reply:

They don't get away that easily....

Nope Hamster I love them. But in the past I was only feeling guilty about what they were doing to my teeth and my waistline. Now I'm feeling guilty about the battery eggs in them too...

Just added my signature to the petition because I want to start eating them again...

Isn't that a similar answer to the one that Hellman's of the mayo fame gave when they were faced with similar petitions/emails?

If Hellmans can go free range then so can cadbury. I wonder how many other Cadbury products contain eggs.
