...so is it too late to re-route that waste of funds to SPC as should have been done in the first place?

Would that be for the possum flavoured chocolate?

Perhaps the Beef jerky chocolate?

not sure about that.

what i am referring to is the animal by-product.

The below products have been certified halal. Please note that we use halal certified gelatine in products that contain gelatine as an ingredient.  https://www.cadbury.com.au/Products/Halal-Products.aspx

For meat to be halal it must come from a permitted source and it must be slaughtered according to Islamic rites. Pigs, for example, are not a permitted source because they are considered 'impure' and so pork is not halal.

Why is gelatine a problem?

Because of this, gelatine is a problem for Muslims as it is extracted from the bones and skins of animals, usually cattle or pigs. These are by-products of meat production.   As you can imagine, when you read ‘gelatine’ on an ingredient list of a food label, it’s impossible to know whether it’s made from cows (acceptable) or pigs (not acceptable); and if from cows, whether the cow has been slaughtered in the correct (halal) manner. http://foodwatch.com.au/blog/additives-and-labels/item/q-i-have-noticed-halal-gelatine-on-food-label...

That's the point though. Makes no difference to the taste of the product. I really don't care if it means the company gets a bigger market.

 If you grow up in an environment in which religion features heavily it is forced upon you until such time that you learn that you do have the choice to make your own decisions and live your own life, free of the burdens of the religion and religious control.

you're right.  it makes no difference to the

taste but it makes a difference to those of us

who oppose ritual slaughter - halal/kosher/

whatever.

Not in this case, its about whether the geletin comes from cows or pigs. In that respect, makes no difference to me which one.

if you have children - what choice do you give them?

what do you teach them?  do you turn them against 

islam?  or do you tell them from a very early age

that islam could be an option for them?

It matters to some. It doesn't bother me. Whether cows are slaughtered the Halal way or not, they are still slaughtered. Don't like it, try vegetarianism. Avoiding Australian companies, or even foreign owned Australian companies who employ Australians just hurts us. The only difference you're making with your stance is that you're costing Australian jobs.

no thanks.  i have no intention of becoming

a vegetarian.  i do no support unstunned slaughter.

once i know there are no legal exemptions  for this

practice in australia  and ALL halal slaughter involves

stunning then i will have no other objection to halal.

Cadburys failures are due to 3 things:

They pay for halal certification

The use of palm oil

They are going to shrink block size but keep the price the same.

I ,along with many many people choose not to buy Cadburys due to 1, 2 or 3 of the reasons above.

At my local shops, the Cadbury shelves are always full, no matter what kind of "special" they are having.

http://www.orangutans.com.au/orangutans-survival-information/helping-you-buy-responsibly-palm-oil-fr...

Cadbury only use palm oil in some fillings, I believe ................in that link it shows you which chocolates don't contain palm oil.

Easter eggs, some of them also contain palm oil but I think they are only filled ones? and they use sustainable palm oils.

---

All of cadburys, including their Easter Eggs, are halal certified

---

I am uncertain what that has to do with palm oil?

I was addressing the reason given for number 2.

 their chocolate is Halal certified.

 they reduced the block size and kept the RRP the same.
