British Bakery Goes Viral After Owner’s Rant About Being Reported For Using “Illegal Sprinkles”

A bakery in Leeds UK has gone viral after the owner went on a furious rant on Facebook. Get Baked was temporarily shut down because they were using American sprinkles which are illegal in the UK.

According to NPR, the sprinkles contain a regulated additive but the West Yorkshire Trading Standards agency deemed them illegal because they contain a coloring called erythrosine.

Whoever reported the bakery has some serious problems, but thankfully, it seems like new and old customers from all over are continuing to support the bakery.
