Lots of sugar reduced & sugar free candy, gum, soda have sorbitol & so do prunes, peaches, plums, necterines, apples, pears, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, etc & dried fruit too. I wouldn't be concerned about the fudge...everything in moderation.

Sorbitol? I would be much more concerned about the price for 12 small bite size pieces of fudge!

Am I reading this right?

You placed an order for a food item without bothering to look over the ingredients list first? 😛

I dont have any issue with sorbital as long as I stick to enjoying a serving. It's only when I over-indulge that it can become problematic.

But over-indulgence in any chocolatey treat can produce a laxative effect, with or without sorbital.

I just finished watching the presentation and at no time does the vendor or Jill mention the fudge contains sorbitol.

I checked the ingredient list on Q's website and sorbitol is listed as an ingredient.

I checked the ingredient list on Big Little Fudge website and sugar is the first ingredient-no sorbitol at all.

So what gives, QVC? What are you trying to pull on your customers?

Why would this company make this version without real sugar and not make it known to the buyer?

One piece is a laxative for me and it should be told on air that it has sorbitol in it. Not all of us have computers to look up the ingredients. I have neighbors who still don’t have one and I live in a metropolitan area.

Sorbitol is the 12th ingredient in the list. I doubt that there's enough to cause a problem if you only eat one serving.

The real crime is the PRICE, over $3 for one little piece of fudge.

Fudge is so easy to make it's so ridiculous

chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter

a microwave and your done.

I believe for $5 worth of ingredients you'll have more than the

12 pieces shown. add nuts, chop nuts and roll your pieces

I don't believe the Q is obligated at all to divulge all the ingredients on air, it's up to the consumer to be smart.

Some people don't have computers, so artificial sweeteners should always be mentioned on air.

kittyloo — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 14:48:05 GMT

im a little confused. you are sensitive to sorbitol, it's listed in the ingredents, and you still thinking that q is doing you a disservice?

should the host and the vendor spend several minutes going over every ingredent in every product, to make sure that people are aware that there MIGHT be SOMETHING that they are sensitive to?

that's why they provide the ingredient list.

ALL the facts are there. YOU just have to look at them.

It may be easy to make, but some of us (myself included) can't stand cooking, baking, etc. If I wanted fudge, I'd pay for it before I'd consider making it.

@kittyloo

ABSOLUTELY ,YES THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD. I AM SHOUTING BECAUSE IT COULD VERY WELL KILL SOMEONE!!!!

What if an old person ,or a blind person ,or a person without a computer,was buying it and has no way of "checking ingredents" and was allergic to a product in any food item sold here, is it so hard for therm to comment on ingredents? I for one never knew they even listed the ingredents on the item ,they are not easily accessable. Do we have to call CS to find out whats in a food item? Does CS even have that answer?

Just like it is just too much trouble to announce the total price of an item too ,instead of saying for " $5 " you can get it home. I for one cannot see the price on my screen,i have eye problems

IMO ,some people here have more love for,"The Q" than they do for humanity. Judging from some of the responses to complaints that get posted over this board!WOW!

My point was that they used sorbitol instead of sugar. This should have been made plain, but it wasn't.

Sorbitol is used for dietetic products. This should have been stated somewhere.

@cbrite. You ought to be undamaged as long as you don't pig out and eat the whole box in one sitting.

Hmmm ... now I'm a little confused.

Sugar is the first ingredient listed in all the Big Little Fudge varities I saw on the QVC website. (M59368 & M59376)

@GSPgirl If you mean a PC, then i don't have a computer either. Never did.

Fortunately, ANYONE ( even "old" people, like me) can easily check the ingredients using a variety of devices including their phone.

if you're allergies are so severe, that it could kill you, why in the world would you be putting something "new" in your mouth that you had not read the ingredient list?

What on earth is over indulge?.......That would be left to each individual's choice I would imagine.. 🤔

No.

A "serving" is an amount specified on the nutrition label, just like any other edible.

Over indulging is more in line with the "eat all you want" approach.

Well I have learned a lot here:

1. Everyone has a computer or a phone, so no need for on-air info.

2. If you eat more than the suggested serving to heck with you if it makes you sick cause you overate.

3. It's ok to load something with artificial sweeneners and not mention it in a sales pitch. Because if it makes them sick they just ate too much.

4. You must never assume something has artificial sweeteners in it cause all you have to do is eat only one serving.

Wow. All things I didn't know. I have yet to find an amount of nutrasweet that doesn't give me a blinding migraine within 15 minutes. I guess that's my fault because people are always slipping it into stuff and then when I can' see saying "Can't you believe that is sugar free?" Yes, I can't see you but I believe you.
