Just wondering how many Aussies out there love Duncan Hines as much as I do?

Woolworths now stock Duncan Hines devils food and French vanilla cake mix, and milk chocolate frosting, but I would love to have a bigger selection.

I was thinking about emailing woolies about this, but thought if a whole bunch of us email, it may be more effective.

So who else loves Duncan Hines and would like to see more on the supermarket shelves???

Won't happen - limited shelf space and a committment to Australian Products first, means that imported products are further down the chain. With the current up-swing of Donna Hay-branded products, DH will go further down the list ..

Sorry - count me out. I only bake from scratch, which is much cheaper (in addition to better tasting!) than imported box mixes. Plus I have a moral stance on 'food miles' I always endeavour to uphold. We only have one earth.
Life's too short to make cake pops.

I had never heard of Duncan Hines, saw a new product on the supermarket shelf, quickly scanned ingredients and was happy to see there appeared to be no dairy/milk products in the Devil's Food deliciously moist cake mix. I love chocolate cake but I don't eat animal products!!!!

 

At home i googled the emulsifiers as I know they can come from plant or animal. I had never seen emulsifier 541 before. GOOGLE it guys!!!

 

It is banned in Australia, made from aluminium, dangerous for babies and old people, linked to alzheimers, osteoporosis, parkinsons disease. The only reason I would email Woolies is to say get it off the shelf!!!!!! There are plenty of other cake mixes that will taste just as good and you won't be eating steel.

 

Duncan Hines does not seem a reliable/moral company given the product recall of cupcakes due to inappropriate labeling regarding traces of nuts (google it) and use of emulsifier 541. Remember when you buy products made in the USA you are exposing yourself and whoever else eats it to a completely foreign set of food safety standards.

 

AVOID DUNCAN HINES!!!!! We should not be allowed to sell this in Australia when ingredients don't comply with our food safety standards. I would be very suspicious of any of this company's products and labeling accuracy!!!!
