Thread: Goodbye Hershey's?????????

YES GHIRARDELLI IS GOOD. AND IT REALLY IS NOT EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE. MAYBE A FEW CENTS MORE. BUT IF YOU BUY A BIG BAG ITS CHEAPER. I PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER.

SCHARFFEN BERGER CHOCOLATE IS GOOD TOO. SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE BUT NOT TOO BAD. MADE IN USA. THEY DONT HAVE THE FLAVORS AND I AM KIND OF ADDICTED TO THE FLAVORS. BUT THEY MAKE A GOOD DARK CHOCOLATE....NOT TOO BITTER. AND THEY ALSO MAKE THE SMALLER CANDY SQUARES WHICH I PREFER. I EAT LESS THAT WAY.

GHIRARDELLI'S PLANT IS NOW IN SAN LEANDRO, CALIFORNIA. AND SCHARFFEN BERGER, I THINK, IS IN BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.

I HAVEN'T HEARD OF EITHER OF THEM GETTING BUSTED FOR HIRING ILLEGALS.....KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED. AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY DONT.

Yes, I knew that Hershey was joining the traitor list sometime ago. NO HERSHEY FOR ME OF ANY KIND!!! I love Dove chocolates. I hope they don't go south!

Is chocolate bars the next thing to be hit with e-coli?

ACTUALLY THERE WAS A HERSHEYS CHOCOLATE RECALL FOR E COLI. I WOULD HAVE TO FIND THE LINK TO TELL YOU WHEN IT WAS. SO ONE MORE REASON NOT TO BUY HERSHEYS

OK I WAS WRONG IT WAS SALMONELLA. THIS IS FROM AN ARTICLE ON A CURRENT KRAFT RECALL FOR E COLI. BUT THE HERSHEY RECALL WAS LAST YEAR. I LOVE IT WHEN THEY SAY NO ILLNESSES REPORTED. YOU JUST KNOW SOMEONE HAD TO GET SICK. BUT THEY WERE JUST NOT SURE WHAT MADE THEM SICK.

Also last year, Hershey Canada, a branch of the U.S. chocolate-maker, announced a major recall in Canada and shut down its Smith Falls, Ontario, plant for three weeks after a salmonella scare. No illnesses were reported.

Hey all found a site that may help with the candy/chocolate fix we are facing-
http://americansworking.com/candy.html
Don't know if they hire illegals but at least they are made in the USA.

I heard about Hershey's awhile ago,stopped buying then,also I don't buy anything with dual language on the wrapper.Like you need it to figure out the contents of the package-there are chocolate covered raisins on the box,GEE what could be inside?

For the person who asked about Godiva-they are made by the Campbells soup company,don't know about location of factory or if they employ illegals.

Rawhide!
