Popular Cadbury product recalled due to 'quality issues' - but disgruntled customers are still complaining about 'fuzzy mould'
Share:
Chocoholics will be keenly aware that there was a shortage of Cadbury's Drinking Chocolate over the festive period. The indulgent hot chocolate powder was pulled from supermarket shelves at the end of 2024 over 'quality' concerns. At the time, Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, confirmed that they identified a 'food quality issue' in some tubs, meaning that 'the texture and colour of the product may not look as expected'.

They added: 'As a result, we have swiftly withdrawn affected products from retailers, to make specific improvements to future production.'. Despite reassurances that all Cadbury products were 'safe to consume', shoppers took to social media armed with pictures of 'unusual' white specks nestled amongst their hot chocolate powder.

Some even claimed that their Cadbury Drinking Chocolate was riddled with 'mould'. Taking to X, one disgruntled user said: 'I found what looked like mould in a new tin of Cadbury hot chocolate.'. Another tweeted: 'This happened to me twice now. Two brand new tubs bought at separate times. Disgusting!'.

Cadbury's hot chocolate powder was pulled from supermarket shelves at the end of 2024 over 'quality' concerns. A third shared a similar horrifying experience and said: 'Little fuzzy moulds growing in what was a sealed tall tub of hot chocolate powder with a best before date in 2026, and the powder has suspiciously vanished from all stores so I can't replace it.'.
