What are your fondant prices like?
For outside of Greater London, we can only offer pallet solutions (which a pallet contains x80 boxes) and the price per 12.5 kg box will be starting from (subject to postcode) £19.90 (delivery included).

For more and accurate information please send us dm so we can quote accurately.

Thanks.

That’s not very competitive at the moment.

Wow! That's expensive for a pallet full!
 
hopefully it's beet sugar, rather than cane which has a massive carbon footprint, comes from halfway around the world, is responsible for destruction of rainforests and depends on the exploitation of native workers who get paid subsistence wages.

Uk sugar beet isn’t that innocent.

yes, but we all know that all that is hype churned up by the usual crowd to attract funding/donations the truth about neonic treatment is a bit different, I wonder how many 'nasty' chemicals get pumped into the environment at basically unregulated sugarcane plantations set on making profit above all else

The are plenty of chemicals used in Sugar cane treatments in the Caribbean and Africa that are banned in the Europe, but no one seems to mind about that. It's about time the UK stopped importing food that wouldn't be acceptably or legally produced here

Though I don't have much knowledge of the topic I'm probably in the same camp. Neonics aren't a good thing to be putting into the environment in my view and I'd much prefer that it didn't happen even if I think the threat to bees may often be overstated. However, exporting our sugar production difficulties to countries with far poorer controls over use of pesticides, workers rights and environmental issues as well as the environmental cost of getting the stuff here from wherever it is produced is a bit of a pathetic way to attempt to deal with the problems.

I suspect that the general population's addiction to sugar means there is no positive way to deal with the situation we now face, at least in the short term.

I listened to a lecture at the NHS by Martin Giurfa who showed cognitive learning in honey bees was affected by as little as 1ppb of pesticides. It certainly makes you think!
