Cadburys in profit but has no milk in it anymore

this thread is an example of out totally incorrect and false information spreads and shows how people are so devoid of their own thinking that they believe any crap they see on fakebook or thicktoc.

Anyone that has the basic ability to read would see that dairy milk contains milk and plenty of it. It was way back in 2009 that they introduced some palm oil instead of CREAM and they haven't made changes since then.

Milk is 23% of the bar, Cocoa is min 20%, the sugar is next

So even a cursory check by the op would show that milk is he primary ingredient - but they'd rather spread misinformation and then not bother to correct it.

A

Nonsense. The second ingredient in Lindor is “Vegetable Fat (Coconut, Palm Kernel)” and for that privilege you get to pay €10 for 200g!

As mentioned, the best reasonably priced chocolate is available in Lidl or Aldi, predominantly their premium ranges. No vegetable fats or weird unknowable ingredients like 'flavourings'.

Galaxy and Milka al the way for me, usually on special somewhere. Galaxy has always been the most intense chocolatey taste ever since we were kids imo.

they'd rather spread misinformation and then not bother to correct it.

Exactly this

This ridiculous thread and the completely false title have been here for more than a day and the OP hasn’t edited or even said “oops, my bad”

I presume this is a bastardisation of the “Penguins are actually biscuits” story but people like the OP are everything that is wrong with social media.

I am going to try and wean myself off chocolate. The cheaper stuff is crap and the good stuff costs more than gold!

Ireland is in the EU.

Cadbury dairy milk is marketed as milk chocolate in Ireland.

You've just see the pic.

What more do you want?

The picture he posted is a wrapper that is found in Irish stores (I checked this evening). So again, your claim - and the claim of others - that Cadbury is "not allowed" to market their products as chocolate in the EU appears to be complete balderdash.

After reading this thread, I tried Aldi's own milk chocolate products this evening. Both the Mister Roth and the Dairyfine ranges. Yes, they have more advertised cocoa content and milk content than Cadbury but I think they taste so bland. Each to their own but I'll be sticking to Cadbury and their formula.

Summary from Chatgpt below.

This all stems from "the chocolate war" case which was settled in 2003.

🍫 1. EU (Continental Europe) Standards

Under EU Directive 2000/36/EC on cocoa and chocolate products:

Plain (dark) chocolate:

Must contain at least 35% total dry cocoa solids, of which at least 18% must be cocoa butter and 14% cocoa solids other than fat.

Milk chocolate:

Must contain at least 25% total dry cocoa solids,

Minimum 14% milk solids (of which 3.5% milk fat and 25% total fat).

White chocolate:

Must contain at least 20% cocoa butter and 14% milk solids.

These are EU-wide minimums, but some countries traditionally exceed them.

🇫🇷 France, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇧🇪 Belgium, 🇨🇭 Switzerland (non-EU)

These countries generally set higher voluntary or traditional standards for quality chocolate:

Many insist on minimum 30% cocoa solids for milk chocolate (vs 25% EU minimum).

Belgium, for example, commonly uses 30–33% cocoa in milk chocolate.

France and Italy also tend to use less sugar and more cocoa butter for a smoother texture and richer flavour.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom & 🇮🇪 Ireland

Before Brexit (and still generally today), they followed the EU Directive but also had special allowances due to tradition:

“British milk chocolate” (often called family milk chocolate) can have only 20% cocoa solids minimum — lower than the EU standard of 25%.

This was a long-standing exemption negotiated in the EU to allow products like Cadbury Dairy Milk to continue being sold as “milk chocolate.”

The UK & Ireland argued that their higher milk content balanced the lower cocoa content.

Cadbury's certainly isn't what it used to be - it just tastes cheap these days and doesn't have that 'snap' nor does it have the milkiness it used to have years ago.
