Manner Chocolate / Schokolade Wafers, 2.65 oz (75g)

Baked to European rules. Potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide, both used to treat flour in American baking, are not permitted in the European Union. Six food colours that are still common in American biscuits and iced cakes must carry a warning on the label here, so European bakers stopped using them. Titanium dioxide, used to make icing and coatings an opaque white, has been banned as a food colour in the EU since 2022. It is the same reason the ingredient list on the back of the pack is short.

Manner have been making these wafers in Vienna since 1898 and the format has not changed: five thin wafer sheets, four layers of cream, cut into squares. The chocolate version is the darkest of the range. The pink packet is a Viennese landmark in its own right.
