Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 You can't make this up, folks... https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/uk/sprinkles-bakery-banned-scli-intl-gbr/index.html Quote In a statement sent to CNN, West Yorkshire Trading Standards confirmed they had advised the business that the use of E127 is not permitted in this type of confectionery item. "We stand by this advice and would urge all food business operators, when seeking to use imported foods containing additives, to check that they are permitted for use in the UK," the statement added.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) they are banned because of the dye E127 used on the red sprinkles. E127 is banned in many places in the world also in some products in USA. Edited October 14, 2021 by Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If that had happened in 1773, in the American colonies, we might have had the Boston Sprinkles Party, instead of the Boston Tea Party,. They would have turned Boston harbor into really nice mixture of colors, for sure. I think I will go get a doughnut, with sprinkles on it, just for spite. Been eating them all my life...but then again, I am only 72. I would not want to shorten my life!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) I have visions of me being in the UK eating a doughnut and dropping red sprinkles on the ground. Knowing them they'll call the police and the area will be cordoned off, just like the time when somebody found an empty .22LR case lying on a sidewalk in London.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Life causes cancer. Some things may hasten the cancer, in an individual, but sprinkles???? In that quantity??? It's like the song by Hank Williams Sr. says: "no matter how I struggle and strive...I'll never get out of this world alive." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 I would think if you eat enough donuts with E127 sprinkles to get cancer that cancer will probably be the least of your health problems anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 A few years ago someone found an empty .223 shell on the elementary school grounds my kids went to. I was talking to the janitor about it while waiting for school to get out. Apparently everyone was in a bother about it. When my kids came out the Principal was right there, so I asked her about it, just to mess with her. She was all upset about it, and then she remembered I was a shooter. So, she looked at my son(1st grade) and then looked at me and asked if I knew anything about it. I answered " it couldn't have been my son, he never carries anything smaller than a 44 " and walked away, enjoying the funny look she got on her face. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
