Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband can't be called chocolate any more

'Nestle has reformulated Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband bars, reducing their cocoa and milk solid content below UK chocolate standards, leading to their reclassification as "encased in a smooth milk chocolate flavour coating." This change, driven by rising cocoa prices, reflects a broader industry trend known as "skimpflation," where companies adjust recipes to manage increased production costs. Similar adjustments have been made by other brands, such as McVitie's, which recently relabelled its Penguin and Club bars as "chocolate flavour."'

Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband can't be called chocolate any more

Nestle has used more vegetable oil in it recipes, meaning the treats no longer qualify as chocolate under UK law

Just read a Grauniad piece on the British #reclassification of #WatershipDown (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jul/21/no-more-newborns-watership-down-has-been-upgraded-to-a-pg-itll-still-terrify-children), and realised I’ve never actually seen the film.

It stumped me for a moment, but I realised why: for as long as I remember, Art Garfunkel’s #BrightEyes reduced me to tears. I find it so incredibly sad and beautiful.

I reacted this way to a lot of things as a kid, most of which I grew out of. This one stuck, though; it’s dissuaded me from ever seeing the movie.

No more newborns: Watership Down has been upgraded to a PG. It’ll still terrify children

The red in tooth and claw classic now requires parental guidance rather than being suitable for anyone. This may seem quaint in the digital age, but it raises important questions

Does anyone have suggestions for a scholarly or trade journal to that publishes articles on #library activities like #reclassification projects that are not too technical?

It doesn't focus on the cataloging side, but on the system in use and why it was necessary to change.
