    Default Lepicol Bowel Benefit Bar

    I was going to buy this today, what with the new packaging luring me in and all... but after checking the label (with VEGAN clearly on the front), the ingredients list contains "HONEY DIPPED BANANA CHIPS"!!
    I have complained to them, and if more of you can do so it would be great...

    Prototype letter if you want to use it:
    To whom this may concern,
    I recently went to buy your bowel benefit bar, which has a changed recipe.
    Upon looking at how the recipe has changed, I saw "honey dipped banana chips" on the ingredients panel.
    As I am a Vegan, I put down the bar, and decided not to buy it, yet I was surprised to find that the packaging still says "VEGAN" on the front.
    Not only is this incorrect since it contradicts the Vegan society's definition of Veganism, it also breaks the Trade Descriptions Act which prohibits misleading information.
    I hope that you take immediate action regarding this matter.
    From a dissapointed ex-customer.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Title Initial.Surname

    Good news!! Here's the response:


    Dear Mr harvey, thank you for your letter. I can assure you that the bar is vegan. There has been a mistake at the factory where some old wrappers were used. We are currently investigated this. As soon as we have completed a new production with the correct wrappers I would like to send you a box free as a gesture from us to apologise for this unnecessary inconvenience.

    I will be back in touch soon.

    Yours sincerely,

    Peter Jackson
    Managing Director

    Excellent! Perhaps while they're at it you could suggest they change the name of the bar to something a little less... anatomical

    Do they do other products? Perhaps the Small Intestines Sympathetic Smoothie would go down well.
