Vitamins and Bourbon

I had a disappointing (long overdue) trip to ASDA in Harlow this week, not only do they not stock Oatly Cream, they have also stopped selling the Oatly Milk (it is still available for delivery online - but they will only deliver 18 cartons, which only lasts a few days in our house). They are however stocking the Freedom Oat milk (in the free-from section, not the long life milk section), but I haven’t had the chance to try it yet (plan to do a taste test with the boys once they are over current bout of Chicken Pox and colds!). 

Even worse was the news that their Bourbon biscuits now contain milk (fortunately Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose Bourbon’s are still fine) , as does their Great Stuff Jelly - still not sure why you would possibly need to put milk in a jelly!

On a more positive note, their Crumpets and Toasted Tea Cakes are milk, egg and soya free.

Thanks to the foreign foods section, I bought some different shaped pasta for the boys (small elbows and short tubes), When I eventually got round to using it I though VITAMINLI was an unusual company, then realised the make was ANKARA and that it has added Vitamin B1, B2, Niacin and folic acid, but more importantly if, like me, you have a child who isn’t keen on red meat it contains 3mg of Iron per 100g (uncooked weight). Not a huge amount, but every little counts...
