Huh...from a country that won't outlaw corn syrup...that stuff is deadly.
(my opinion after watching "The Men Who Made Us Fat" what a brilliant documentary this was.

My sister just put the crunchies back in the case - phew! Apparently not allowed to import but are allowed though customs.. Cant stand the things but have a friend who adores them...

Why are they really banned? They are all sugar and food colouring aren't they?
I ate a huge bag of jelly babies last week, (then felt a bit sick
) they were in my care package from Mum

I did a bit more research, and Bassestt's is a brand Cadbury own's.
My guess is now that Kraft owns Cadbury, it got Hershey into defending its home turf since they hold the licence.
I can't find anything on the FDA being involved though, but who knows.

Wonder who in the FDA is in Hershey's back pocket. Some of these stupid government decisions come from bl**dy lobbyists trying to push their company's adgenda. Bet they have never tried Crunchie or Jelly Babies before. Don't know what they're missing.

Re: Jelly Babies & Crunchy Bars banned?
Surely it has nothing to do with food colouring etc. Have you seen the colour of the US fruit loops compared to the UK ones? They are obsessed with making things appear very brightly coloured over here. My Kids looked very confused when they had Fruit Loops in the UK. Don't even get me started on the colour of the Airhead candy!!

If Cadbury wants to sell their product, they could always buy out the license from Hershey.
