Would
you want fake diamonds?
Would you want fake flowers? Then why get swizzled* with fake chocolate? We've done a lot of research and found that the following companies are advertising "Chocolate Covered Strawberries" but that the substance they are dipping the strawberries in can not legally be called Chocolate. Shari's
Berries®
ProFlowers® Cherry Moon Farms® Secret Spoon® some of the above companies also list their products on the following sites: Chocolates by Gini® One Passion Place® Cover Me Chocolate® Gift Baskets Remembered® shop.com® gifts.com® shopzilla® catalogs.com® givechocolate.com® We
asked the source of these non-chocolate berries (they are all made by
the same company), to stop the misleading advertising but except for
some minor wording in some of the Internet ads, they
continue to advertise that they are making "Chocolate Covered
Strawberries" as an Internet search term and on their sites.
We
are currently researching the source of several other "brands" of
possibly non-chocolate strawberries and will update this list as
needed.
New Finds: The Following companies were also found to not use real Chocolate Berry Eligance® The Berry Factory®. While CCBerries® uses only real gourmet chocolate it seems that many of the major companies don't feel the need to actually make what they advertise. The ingredients used to make chocolate are no secret, neither are the FDA regulations of that should be in chocolate, it's as simple as going to the FDA web site at www.fda.gov and entering "white chocolate", "milk chocolate" or "bittersweet chocolate" in the search field. See how they fool you (Click here) What's a swizzle? *swizzled : slang for 'to cheat, let down, with a swizz', swizz: slang for 'A thing that , in reality, is disappointingly inferior to what was cheatingly promised' Swizzled is also what a few of companies mentioned above call 'drizzled'. We have no idea why they needed to call 'drizzled' something else, but that someone would select a word with such a definition is pretty funny. Each of the companies names listed above are registered trademarks of the repective companies. |
