Cocoa

[taz sharratt]

i am so craveing for a nice hot mug of hot chocolate right now, been searching for a gluten and milk free chocolate drink but havent found one, yesterday i found a cadburys cocoa powder, it says suitable for bakeing and drinking just add milk, well it doesnt matter what kind of milk ( rice milk). anyway is this safe? have a feeling it ok but need to be sure.

I use cocoa powder, a milk sub, and a sweetener to make my hot chocolate as well. I don't know about UK brands (though I believe cadbury's is a "will clearly mark on the label" company), but it's usually safe. try calling the company today to double check.

Hershey's Cocoa Powder is safe.

Not sure............I didn't realize you were from the UK. You might check around, never know you might find it.

Don't think that Cadbury's is okay.

What about Green and Blacks Organic Open Original Shared Link

Can you get Nestle's? I use a milk substitute (Vance's), sugar and Nestle's Pure Cocoa Powder.

What about Fry's? That's gluten-free. Not sure if it's available in the UK, though.

Is Almond Breeze available in the UK? If so, it's delicious heated up with a few drops of peppermint extract in it.

Good idea with the peppermint. I should try that sometime in my chocolate Silk. I don't know if they have that in the UK either--but Silk's chocolate soy milk is delicious--says cf/gluten-free right on container too.

It turns out that some cans of Fry's Cocoa may have traces of wheat. There is (or has been) more than one facility that produces this, and at least one of them may have issues of cross-contamination. (I just posted a new topic about this entitled 'Fry's Cocoa' - Jan 9, 2009).
