Cadbury's new chocolate range raises eyebrows - Audio

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.

Did anyone look at where the chocolate they tasted was made? Cadbury has starting importing a significant amount of their chocolate from Australia which has the inferior recipe to what has made Cadbury a quality product in nz.
Before anyone buys their chocolate in future look at where it's made, if Australia put it back it is simply rubbish.

Since it seems Cadbury is replying to us all with the same generic dumbed-down response, please help by signing this online petition. Maybe they'll sit up and take notice!

I actually wrote to Cadbury expressing my concerns about the different taste and the size of the blocks. The difference in taste between NZ and Australian chocolate was negligible. The company doesn't appear to care about it because all I got in response was a propaganda letter, impersonal and full of marketing hype. I refuse to eat their chocolate now, and have actually found that Lindt chocolate is quite nice, more expensive, but worth it.

I agree with comments made.Always enjoyed Cadburys NZ but now we are buying other brands after the changes they have made. Taste is not the same and also the bars , I bought a Crunchie and found the honeycomb hard and chocolate not as nice. I noted the Cadbury logo was missing off its base then looked at the wrapper-made in Australia. Ah well it was nice whilst it lasted. Sorry Mr Cadbury, you have lost us as customers.

i agree - cadbury have accomplished what nothing else could - put me off their chocolate! Going from several blocks per week, now i wont touch the stuff. Also makes me wonder what the people at the dunedin factory are actually doing with all their spare time as they obviously aren't making chocolate.....Bring back the NZ stuff...

There are plenty of good NZ chocolate makers besides Cadbury and Whittakers. Our website www.thechocolateclub.co.nz sells chocolate from some of the top chocolate makers in NZ and there are plenty of great ones!

Made in Australia from inferior milk, with cheap unhealthy oil.

Surprise surprise it tastes horrible. The World Health Organization states that palm oil consumption contributes to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases WHO Technical Report Series 916. Geneva. 2003).

Finally, Cadbury sacked 145 people in Dunedin last August! (Otago Daily Times 21 Aug 2008.)

So the "new" Cadburys chocolate:
- taste worse
- is more unhealthy
- is made in Australia
- resulted in NZ job losses
