“Retro” White Rabbit Sweets
If you’re East-Asian, you might remember growing up with these White Rabbit sweets. Or in fact, you might still be eating these sweets.
Well, now it seems that these milky sweets have come under scrutiny and are currently being tested by the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) for a chemical it should not contain – Formaldehyde.
This preservative is commonly used for embalming and well, probably is better known as one of Damien Hirst’s tools of his trade.
Hopefully, all’s well that ends well and that they don’t contain the stuff. I wouldn’t like to think that I might have “preserved” anything in my stomach all these years.

NOOOOOO. white rabbits are my favourite.
The White Rabbits are really nice but where can you buy them because I’ve searched everywhere and I can’t find anywhere in the UK that sells them!
Have you tried Chinese supermarkets in any of the Chinatowns? Or perhaps the larger chains like Wing Yip? You could try taking a print out of the photo above – the staff should recognise them as the packaging seems to have never changed!
you can get it easily in mau at inr .50
