I am disappointed with the reply to my e-mail regarding tartrazine.

"Many thanks for your email regarding tartrazine (E102).

Yes we are still using E102, but we are presently looking into natural colours for some of our products."

They then added a list of the products that do not contain artificial colours (including the coltsfoot rock), but it would be nice to be able to buy sweets without having to read the ingredients list every time.
