Diabetic Easter Egg Thorntons No Added Sugar

Suzie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:25:15 +0000

The Thorntons “No Added Sugar” Diabetic Easter Egg comes with a bag of diabetic chocolate mini eggs in foil and Happy Easter engraved into the chocolate on the front. The style and design of the Easter egg box means this egg can be for all age ranges.

£6.50 225g of milk chocolate, Easter egg and diabetic mini eggs.

Labelled: Diabetic, Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Thorntons also have a rather large diabetic chocolate range: Thorntons No Added Sugar Chocolate Collection

Now, there is some debate about diabetic Easter eggs, well diabetic chocolate in general. Some say there is no need for diabetic chocolate, as limiting the amount of chocolate consumed has the same effect. The problem seems to be two fold; firstly that sugar in diabetic chocolate is replaced with nutritive sweeteners, in this case polyols. Guidelines state that you should have no more than 20g per day, some diabetic chocolate contains a lot more – I don’t know the exact amount in the Thorntons Diabetic Egg and secondly that people assume that items labelled ‘diabetic’ will be suitable for all diabetics and provide some benefit.

Whilst I totally agree that it can be confusing and unclear as to what you can and cannot eat as a diabetic and the term used as a label can be misleading, the range is now called “No Added Sugar Diabetic”. All the offered alternatives to diabetic chocolate seem to be small amounts of high cocoa content dark chocolate; my problem is that not everyone likes dark chocolate.

So if you do decide to treat yourself to a Thorntons Diabetic Easter Egg or buy one for someone please read the label and if you don’t understand it ask someone who does.

Thorntons – Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Egg

Suzie — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 10:11:06 +0000

This dairy free Easter egg is one of two eggs exclusively available online, and only from the Thorntons site, the other is a Fair Trade egg – with the same packaging but in gold foil.

The smart but universal presentation of green foil and a ribbon tied bag means this dark chocolate Easter egg is visually suitable for all ages.

This is more than just a Dairy Free dark chocolate Easter egg, “It has been made under strictly controlled conditions to prevent any cross contamination from nuts, dairy, egg and gluten.” quoted from Thorntons website.

I have taken that to mean that it is suitable for vegans and people with some food intolerances and food allergies;

Vegan, as it is dairy free and egg free.
Dairy Free, suitable for anyone with lactose intolerance.
Nut Free, for anyone with nut allergies.
Egg free, for anyone with egg allergies.
Gluten Free, suitable for anyone with a wheat allergy or Celiac/Coeliac disease.

However as the egg is not specifically labelled as any of the above, that does mean there is no guarantee. As always, it is always best to check.

Allergy UK have a useful website with information on allergies and food intolerance.

I have to say considering the “strictly controlled conditions” this egg was made in, at only £6.50 it seems rather good value for money, especially when you consider the difference in price of organic and non-organic food.

£6.50, 120g of dark dairy free chocolate.

Labelled: Vegetarian, Dairy Free and Gluten Free.

I do love Thorntons fudge, especially the vanilla and this luxury Easter egg has bits of fudge in the shell of the egg!

This milk chocolate eggs also comes with two bags of Thorntons vanilla fudge as well, so if you know anyone that loves fudge the “Love Fudge” Easter egg would be perfect.

The Easter egg comes in a rather nicely designed clear box, so you can see the Easter egg inside, with an orange, brown and beige pattern on it. You can also have a message iced onto the egg; see the Thorntons site for more details.

£12.00 for 635g milk chocolate Easter egg, I presume the weight includes the bags of fudge.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Gluten Free.
