SMARTIES ARE KOSHER!!

[alexist]

I am stoked and pleased to report that as of January 2009, Smarties (i.e. British Smarties, made by Nestle) no longer contain E120 (carmine/cochineal) and may now freely be consumed by the observant among us.

Go forth and consume the sugary goodness. Unless you keep chalav yisrael, in which case, sorry!

This will, of course, also be good news for vegetarians.

What about those of us who can't derive sustenance from things untainted by misery and death, eh?

Oh, wait. Nestle. That's alright then.
