    1. Obesity.
    2. The pressure from government on confectioners to reduce fat and sugar content and also make all single serve products less than 300kcal to tackle said obesity (this is also why all chocolate bars are much smaller than they once were!)
    3. The cost of ingredients affecting profit margins.

    Take your pick.

    That being said, chocolate oranges were reformulated a couple of years ago to balance out the fact that Mondelez reduced the price to £1 to drive sales and increase brand awareness when product sales were in decline. Unfortunately, this meant that once sales were back up, consumers weren’t willing to pay any more than the £1 they’d got used to. The only way to tackle that was to reduce the size and quality of chocolate used. They’ve since sold the brand to a random French company who may have changed it again.

    Youll be fine when No Deal brexit happens and the tarrifs are too high to import back into the UK!

    Cadburys is a roughly even split between the UK and Poland.

    Nestle make a lot of their products overseas.

    And everyones Christmas Favourite the chocolate Orange is also made in mainland Europe..

    No they changed it, I remember the dreaded ‘new improved recipe’ label at the time.

    It’s woeful.

    I still like Vimto though. Did you get the sugar free one by mistake? It’s not bad but isnt as nice

    Kraft/Mondelez are often blamed for the changes to Cadbury products over the years, but a lot of the changes made to original Cadbury products would have probably happened sooner or later had they never been sold. Granted, we probably wouldn’t have the combining of owned brands into one product (Dairy Milk Oreo for example, which is actually one of the biggest selling bars of Dairy Milk - a success whether you agree with it or not!), but cheaper ingredients would have been added and recipes changed regardless of owner - it’s happened everywhere else.

    What they did to UK employees is, however, unforgivable!

    Note nestles quality street box has been reduced in size again.

    Cadbury have stopped production at bourneville and mondelez international have been producing under license all products for several years despite promises to the mergers committee.

    Prices will be higher and quantities lower.

    God bless yellowhammer!

    It’s all unforgivable in my world. Hence why I won’t spend a single penny on a Cadbury product.

    And that people even put Oreos in their mouths... I think that could easily made a criminal offence! ;-)

    Plus side. Weetabix might start using English Wheat again instead of cheaper alternatives.

    No idea what they use. Just its not good.

    Yellowhammer makes for very sober reading. I wonder if the highly divisive "project fear" tag will now be shown to be the political device it was only ever intended to be.
