Raisins ................... Healthy????

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

Was just in the local supermarket fresh fruit section and I noticed a

nicely packaged attractive-looking re-sealable plastic wrapped 1 kg

of sultana raisins.

Picked it up and thought that the re-sealable bag would be helpful,

then stopped to look at the ingredients list (I wouldn't normally

bother to do this with raisins, I must have been really bored!).

What did it say? .............

" Raisins, hydrogenated vegetable oil " .

Can anyone figure out why anyone would add hydrogenated vegetable oil

to RAISINS? Perhaps the oil is cheaper per pound than the raisins?

Can't be too careful. Don't say you weren't warned.

Rodney.
