Did anyone realise that Subway have palm oil in all of their breads, cookies and even chicken fillet?

Hi NZ choc eaters... i'm writing from Australia and just wanted to let you know Cadbury has recently made the same recipe, packaging and size changes here and we are just as unimpressed... Australian Cadbury choc used to be fine, but everyone i've spoken with here recently agrees it now tastes horrible and all won't be buying anymore. Sorry Cadbury NZ is importing from over here but perhaps the job loses would have come about later when consumers stopped buying the inferior new product... i agree with Rebecca and am happy to pay a bit more for a far superior product such as Lindts.

OMG, Palm Oil does Cadbury like hiding their heads in the sand, Don't they care what the people think about their product or whats in it. Do they not care about what effects palm oil plantations are having on endangered tigers and Orangutans. Sustinable Palm Oil ??? what vegitation was originally destroyed when the palm oil plantations were planted. Other companies are promoting not using Palm oil. TV3 please make cadbury's accountable for their inferior product.
