CRISIS IN EUROPE! BAN ON CHOCOLATE IMPORT!{0}
In a tragic turn of events, the European Union has declared a ban on all meat, animal and confection products crossing into the EU from the United States. This ban on confections, yes, sadly enough, means a ban on importing chocolate. Not that the Europeans don’t have some excellent chocolate producing countries within their borders, but let’s just hope this is a precautionary measure that will soon be remedied.
The article reads as followed:
Kiev. As of May 1, the transport of products of animal origin through the borders of the European Union has been restricted. The restriction covers all food products of animal origin, such as meat, dairy products, and sausages. The measure is also active for the confectionery, chocolate, pasta, and others, Delfi news agency reports.
These rules are active in all EU member states, Poland’s embassy to Ukraine announced.
According to experts, the territory of the Union must be protected from diseases, which are spread through animals.

I have loved baking and cooking since I was a child. I studied foods and nutrition in college, but my secret desire was to own my own restaurant. Participation in a culinary program landed me jobs in several upscale restaurants, where I discovered my passion for baking and pastries. In 1981 I opened my bakery, Tarts and Truffles, in Sacramento, CA. Realizing a need for trained, knowledgeable bakers, I began teaching baking classes in the culinary arts program at American River College in 1990. I hope you will find my interest in high quality baking reflected in every product we sell.
