It the sentense below proper written english (lovers of bakers) ?

Today, more than a million tins leave the East London factory and as well as home consumption, are exported across the globe to lovers of the sweet, sticky stuff and bakers.

    Yes. I ran it through WhiteSmoke and Grammarly (Grammar Checkers) and both gave it a pass. I don't understand the "and as well as home consumption" part, but for whatever reason, that got the green light from both as well. The last part I was pretty sure was correct, but I checked it anyway.

    While it sounds rather odd, the "as well as home consumption" part could be restated as "in addition to domestic sales", so it does make sense.

    Are the tins exported to lovers of sweet, sticky stuff and also to bakers OR to lovers of sweet, sticky stuff and also to lovers of bakers? It may be proper English, but the meaning is unclear. There are better ways to write it. This post was edited by Jane S at June 7, 2017 4:31 AM MDT

    It may be...but your question isn't. Three errors.
