Intro paragraph text edit

The inclusion of calorie count in the introduction struck me as odd. I haven't seen another article on a mass produced food that includes it, so it doesn't seem to fit the standard format of information. Additionally, it may be harmful to those recovering from eating disorders, and might be better placed under a "nutrition information" section, if that were even deemed necessary/fitting.

either change the quoted "in a few mouthfuls" to "in one, possibly two, mouthfuls" or remove the quotations around "'In a few mouthfulls'" as it is not a direct quote. (http://www.timcrane.com/jaffa-cakes.html)

change "Mr Potter QC also expressed that nor were Jaffa Cakes biscuits." to "Mr Potter QC also determined that Jaffa Cakes were not Biscuits" as it is more grammatically correct GnomeSycke (talk) 08:11, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Done - I've moved the part about not being biscuits to the previous sentence rather than correct the sentence, to avoid redundancy. Tollens (talk) 19:04, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sizing and calorie information is no longer up-to-date edit

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As of the date of this comment, as a result of shrinkflation, widely reported in UK press: https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/jaffa-cake-fans-furious-mcvities-30948536 (and others). Calorie count per biscuit is now 41 calories, according to information printed on a current box. Box sizes are 10/20 (not sure if this is already correct on the main article). 5.67.15.13 (talk) 15:35, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
