There are incorrect statements on the page about Plamil Foods.
I have never edited Wikipedia before but realised there were inaccuracies in the section about Plamil Foods. For example, we no longer sell horchata, our products are not sold in Waitrose. Also we produced the first soya milk in western Europe (not soy milk). We are in the UK and not the US. The largest part of the business is the manufacture of dairy free chocolate. That seems to be hidden in the text behind "a range of carob bars." We make two small carob bars. An insignificant part of the business. I added that Plamil is the oldest vegan company in the UK and produced the first Organic chocolate in the UK as well as the first vegan alternative to milk chocolate in the world. The article states we produce a range of egg free mayonnaises including plain, lemongrass and tarragon(with chives). Our best sellers by far are our plain and garlic. The articles states that our chocolate spread is sweetened with orange oil or rice syrup. We do have a chocolate spread sweetened with rice syrup but the other varieties are sweetened with Organic cane sugar. One of these is an orange chocolate spread. We have an ever changing selection of Seasonal products including Easter Eggs, (our first vegan chocolate Easter Egg was made in 1984); bags of half eggs and Easter bunny bars. We also have Advent calendars and chocolate snowmen. Plamil has repeated been judged to be the highest ranked ethical chocolate company in the UK (Ethical Consumer Magazine). All our cocoa is Organic, Fairtrade or UTZ Certified. The Plamil Chocolate Factory is run on 100% renewable energy. We understand the problem there is with adding large amounts of sugar to foodstuffs. As a result we have a reduced sugar rice milk bar (Lots of This None of That), a large and small bar of dark chocolate sweetened with unrefined coconut blossom sugar but perhaps more importantly we have introduced a large range of chocolate produced with no added sugar. That is there is just the natural sugars in the cocoa. Plamil's No Added Sugar chocolate is sweetened with Finnish birch xylitol and is a high cocoa content premium chocolate.

I tried to explain why I had made the changes to the article in the pop up boxes that appeared once I had edited the page. I also used the username PlamilFoods to make sure that it was obvious who had made the changes.

By returning the page to how it was, there are once again a number of incorrect statements about Plamil Foods on Wikipedia. It would be useful if these could be amended.

Thank you,
