Moo Free (rice milk vegan chocolate treats)
Moo Free is a major brand of dairy-free chocolate, created due to allergy concerns. Made with rice powder, these bars taste just like dairy-milk, and sold in many health shops, farm shops and supermarkets.
It’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate (and other ingredients like dried fruits, nuts and nutmeg) away from pets.
You can recycle packaging at supermarket bag bins, if your kerbside does not recycle.
The range includes:
- ‘Milk Chocolate’ Bars
- Mini Moo Bars
- White Chocolate Bars
- Baking Drops
- Choccy Buttons
- Moofreesas (vegan Maltesers!)
- Easter Eggs and Advent Calendars (made with recycled plastic)
Why Choose Dairy-Free Chocolate?
Most dairy (especially in processed foods) is not from free-range cows, but from the factory-farming industry, where baby calves are shot dead soon after birth, due to being of no financial use. Cows and their calves have incredibly strong relationships, staying together for months after birth.
Many people therefore choose dairy-free for animal welfare reasons. Others are dairy-free due to allergies, and some even find that giving up dairy is good to heal sinus and/or skin problems.
You can easily get calcium from plant-based foods like green leafy veggies (check medications due to vitamin K), pulses, nuts and seeds.
