Wow, they are really spoiling us...

[emzy1985]

Well come on now...it's better than the twigs and leaves us vegans have been eating since the dawn of time!

[bryzee86]

yeah. we should be thankful...

[EllaGuru]

yeah, i don't think Nestle are likely to listen, they haven't exactly heeded public opinion in the past - they're one of the most widely-boycotted companies on the planet.
Indeed, and here's why:

http://boycottnestle.blogspot.com/

The boycott has been going on for years and has had no impact on their stance on baby milk. I still boycott them though, but that's no hardship as I don't like coffee or sugary cereals and there are plenty of other vegan after eight type mints available.

[Joeybee]

I know they are annoying and superficial for their reasons to changing the ingrediants, but in their defense they did give a kind of indepth explanation (from a large company in response to a complaint anyway) of why they changed it, and a list of what we can eat of theirs - Although I wouldn't have any of the things on that list!
Still I have hardly ever had after eights in the past that have turned white, and never heard anyone moaning about it, surely it cannot be a problem for such a large amount of people that they need to change the recipe?! I'm gonna ask around now, see if the problem of the bloom is really so terrible!

[Mr Flibble]

the addition of a small amount of milk fat is an effective way of significantly increasing the resistance of the chocolate to bloom.

I agree. There are of course vegan ways for chocolate manufacturers to cut down on fat/sugar bloom too, for instance Aquamin F (http://www.marigot.ie/aquamin_features_and_benefits.phtml).

If adding milk to after eights stops vegans from buying nestle products then i'm all for the change ;)

[Sluggie]
