Plain speaking selection call

A GROUP which campaigns for better use of English yesterday scoffed at a chocolate maker for warning shoppers that a chocolate called Nut Secret contained nuts.

The Plain English Campaign (PEC) said menus in boxes of Cadbury Milk Tray also warned that Hazelnut Caress and Hazelnut Heaven contained nuts and lacked a “common sense ingredient”.

PEC said menus contained “needless repetition” and warnings “smacked of paranoia”.
