Education = business? Not in this country anymore.




Yes, there's a kernel of truth here, but it's not a new "ban" or sudden fake-out. Cadbury Dairy Milk (UK/EU recipe) includes up to 5% vegetable fats (palm & shea) alongside cocoa butter, plus PGPR (E476) as an emulsifier. It meets the UK minimum of 20% cocoa solids. EU rules (Directive 2000/36/EC) are stricter for plain "milk chocolate" (typically 25%+ cocoa solids, no non-cocoa veg fats without qualifiers). So in the 27 EU countries, it's legally sold/ labeled as "family milk chocolate" instead—not banned from sale, just not called standard chocolate. This setup dates back to the 2000 EU chocolate compromise (after decades of "chocolate wars" with purist countries like Belgium/France). Cadbury has used veg fats since the 1970s. No recent swap to "petroleum vanilla"—flavourings have long been added. Check the pack: it says "contains vegetable fats in addition to cocoa butter." Real chocolate? Depends on the legal definition you're using.
