Cadbury warns milk chocolate has milk -----------
LONDON - A British chocolate maker said a new warning
label will inform consumers of milk content in milk
chocolate, even though "milk" is in the candy's name.
Cadbury said the famous Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar
-- which lists milk first on the ingredients list and
explains that the bars contain "the equivalent of three
quarters of a pint of fresh liquid milk in every half
pound of milk chocolate" -- will soon bear an additional
message reading "CONTAINS: MILK," Sky News reported. A
spokesman for Cadbury said the warning is aimed at
