Bird's Custard Powder is the successful brainchild of Alfred Bird, first concocted in 1837 inside his chemist store in Birmingham. The custard powder came as a solution to Bird's wife's allergy to eggs which happen to be an important ingredient for condensing traditional custard. He first served this egg-free custard plate one evening at his diner and it was so well accepted by his customers that he produced the same recipe for a bigger market. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBird's Custard Powder became so famous it gave birth to Alfred Bird and Sons Ltd. This product has been passed on to different companies throughout the years and landed with Premier Foods in 2021. Despite the changes in ownership, Bird's Custard Powder remains to commit the same custard magic that everyone in the family loves for over a century. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the ingredients of Bird's Custard Powder and why is it pink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStaying true to its promise of egg-free custard, Bird's Custard Powder is composed of cornflour, salt, Annatto Norbixin color, and flavoring. The cornflour base of this product is the main key to achieving the thick, velvety consistency of the powder mixture. The Annatto is responsible for making this custard pink. It is a natural food coloring that brings subtle peppery and nutmeg-flavored hints. This product does not use artificial colors and is recommended for vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Bird's Custard Powder gluten-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNever fret because Bird's offers a gluten-free custard powder!
