Palm Oil is labelled as Vegetable Fat on their chocolate labels. It decreases the quality and pleasant taste of the chocolate, it is higher in saturated fat, and the Palm Oil industry is one of the leading causes of deforestation in Indonesia.
Orangutans are on the brink of extinction due to this industry. Both the Bornean and Sumatran subspecies will be extinct in 12 years unless the slash and burn of rainforests to create Palm Oil plantations is slowed. Countless other endangered plants, animals and local people are also suffering.
Many responsible companies are looking for ways to decrease their use of Palm Oil due to the difficulty in finding a truly sustainable source.
It has been shocking to countless numbers of Cadbury fans to find that Cadbury have gone the opposite direction and increased their usage!
Although Cadbury claim to be using Sustainable Palm Oil we question this claim as they have yet to back it up with details and proof.
They justify their use of this product by touting their membership of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) but as yet being on the RSPO does not require any commitment other than paying a fee.
There are a number of companies that belong to the RSPO who continue to destroy rainforest while using their membership as a cover.
Cadbury has the ability to become pioneers and lead the way for other global corporations by expending the extra effort and money required to make positive changes.
Cadbury - we implore you to remove Palm Oil from your NZ chocolate products. We will boycott your products as long as they contain Palm Oil that is not 100% CSPO.

We the undersigned are against the addition of Palm Oil to your NZ chocolate. We believe it not only tastes bad, but we are aware of the environmental devastation occurring in Indonesia due to the Palm Oil industry.
We will be boycotting all your products (and associated brands that you own) until you remove Palm Oil.
One of our closest relatives, the Orangutan will be extinct in the wild in 12 years if companies such as yourself don't take action and ensure they are operating in an environmentally friendly manner.
Please listen to your customers - you used to be a household favourite in NZ, but now are becoming the paraiah of the chocolate brands.
Live up to your reputation as New Zealand's most trusted brand by earning that trust back and removing the Palm Oil from your chocolate.

Having lived in Indonesia for many years and traveled throughout Malaysia, I can attest to the heart-wrenching destruction that the palm oil industry has on the area's rainforests. There ARE alternatives to palm oil that are less destructive to the environment and that don't endanger native species. I would be grateful if you would consider this matter seriously.

Palm oil is destroying the orangutans habitat and killing the orangutan.Cadbury is misleading the consumer by labelling palm oil as vegetable oil.The consumer has a right to know what ingrediants are in the product so they can make an informed choice.The orangutan is dying for profit. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

There has to be an alternative to destroying the rainforest. You make great products, but at what cost? Please do the right thing and find an alternative to palm oil. Your company could set an important precedent by taking this most important step! |

I am a volunteer at Mogo Zoo which is privately owned and is part of the world wide breeding program of endangered species. I hear on a daily basis of the palm oil industry encroaching on the territories of so many endangered species.

You are ruining the chances of our children's children seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural wildlife not to mention the environmental damage. This is dreadful. As one of the worlds biggest companies set an example save the Orangutans from the endangered lists. Not to mention the people who are using as slave labour to grow your coco beans. Shame on you Canburys. Bring yourselves into line by setting yourselves up as Environmental friendly and start be responsible for you impact in this world. Look up Rainforest Alliance. IF Mac donalds can do it so can you.

It's terrible that you think it's okay to kill off an entire species just for profits. I have enjoyed your chocolate for many years and would like to continue to do so however I no longer can until you begin using sustainable palm oil.

Now I find myself saying to my Mum this year, please no chocolate because I'm disgusted that the palm oil in it's ingrediants is having such a detrimental effect on our planet. Why can't Cadbury use moe sustainable methods? I will unfortunately not be purchasing any Cadbury chocolate until this issue is sorted out. They just lost what used to be a very loyal customer, and of course I shall be spreading the word, people need to know the truth!!!

Please do not let quality and standards drop! Cadbury has been a favorite in our family for years; even when we didn't have much, my parents saved up to get us some for Christmas. I'd like future generations to enjoy it as it was, not a cheap, oily version of itself.

I already have written several letters and emails to French food companies which use palm oil in their products, including a few which are including on their packaging some "save the earth", or "we care about environment" messages. Each time, I pointed the contradiction between such a message and the use of palm oil and the destruction of Indonesian forest. I don't usually buy any Cadbury products so I didn't know that Cadbury used palm oil too, but NOW I KNOW, so next time someone offers me a 'Finger' I'll tell this person about palm oil!

I knew for a long time that the taste of Cadbury (and others) had changed for the worst. I could taste the coconut. I hated it. I have not bought Cadbury chocolate for over 3 months now and will not do so again until the original recipe is restored. My disgust was heightened by the plight of innocent animals because of the unethical stance of Cadbury - and trying to place the blame on the consumer. Shame on you Cadbury.

I bought a block (now a very thin block)of Cadburys just yesterday Dec 09, and thought it tasted slimy, just like cheap chocolate does, so I checked the ingredients and was disgusted to see vegetable oil listed. This is supposed to be a quality product, with a long and valuable reputation. Now I consider it junk food, and will not be buying Cadbury again. Very cheap trick Cadbury. Well done for ruining a traditional product. No palm oil thank you regardless of where it comes from.
