Cadbury fans ‘bereft’ after classic product goes missing from shelves

Cadbury is a king among British confectionery, famed for countless products including Dairy Milk, Freddo, and Chocolate Buttons. It’s even so beloved that it was named the UK’s number one favourite chocolate brand in 2024 by The Grocer, selling 59.2 million kg across the nations each year.

But now, Cadbury fans have been left devastated – ‘bereft’ even – after one of its most popular products has disappeared from supermarket shelves. And it’s not a chocolate bar, but the classic hot chocolate powder. Shoppers first noticed that supplies had mysteriously been removed in November, with the brand later confirming that it had been temporarily taken off sale due to quality issues.
‘Ensuring our consumers enjoy consistently high-quality Cadbury products is of paramount importance to us,’ a spokesperson for Mondelēz International told The Sun. ‘We have identified a food quality issue in Cadbury Drinking Chocolate products meaning in some instances the texture and colour of the product may not look as expected.’.
As such, there was speculation that it would be returning to shelves this week, but fans are still waiting to get their fix. The product, which has now been likened to ‘gold dust,’ is still missing from online supermarkets as well as Amazon – and many consumers have noted that they’re still struggling to get hold of it in stores.
