Their eagerness to point out that they had complied with the legal requirements says it all.

But for many years I've had the issue of avoiding a long and varied list of ingredients for a series of ageing relatives and I can confirm that the ingredients list on jars and packets can be about as useful as the proverbial chocolate teapot. Products sometimes have a helpline number printed on them and I tried calling a few of those. All the people I spoke to were very friendly and keen to help but seemed to know almost nothing about the product in question.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-17267221576137150242020-06-03T10:03:48.368+01:002020-06-03T10:03:48.368+01:00I meant to add that the chilli problem is obviousl...I meant to add that the chilli problem is obviously quite common, which makes the current fashion of putting it in so many things very difficult.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-57208004273175256312020-06-03T10:02:29.178+01:002020-06-03T10:02:29.178+01:00Colin, to be fair I usually buy own brand sauces a...Colin, to be fair I usually buy own brand sauces and tomatoes and probably got this one when it was on special offer! I did expect better from a well known brand, or at least a more sympathetic reply. Maybe they never apologise because it's admitting fault with the risk of "a claim"!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-84855795122151019152020-06-03T09:31:00.350+01:002020-06-03T09:31:00.350+01:00We bye cheap ALDI tinned tomatoes and no problems ...We bye cheap ALDI tinned tomatoes and no problems with those as Elizabeth suffers with Chilli as well...

So thank you for alerting me to this one. It is a little disappointing that a company like Sacla have taken this approach. Their products are usually excellent quality. And whilst this is not an 'allergen', you and I are not alone in having a bad 'reaction'.Maybe your email will prompt a rethink.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
