I actually noticed it in Coles 2 days ago. It is $5.13 on the Coles website for that same 125g jar.

Still not showing on the Woolworths website though.

I just bought a 125g jar of OUR MATE in Evans Head, NSW today. It was in a Spar supermarket. Cost about $3.50.

Try the independent stores like ‘Foodworks’ and ‘IGA’, also a lot of the Coles and Woolworths stores do stock it, but they seem to have moved it to the section with the Vegan, Organic and Gluten Free products…

You have to ask your employer to make the application to the tax office, and have the employer calculate the revised tax, and pay you the allowances instead of salary.

Many employers would not want to do this with backdating anything.

Comment on Difference between Australian and British Chocolate by admin

13th Feb 2007 from TFX.org.uk

Cadbury Trebor Bassett have been working to remove hydrogenated vegetable oil from all our products.
We have almost completed this removal for all chocolate products with the exception of :
Double Decker, Boost, Time Out, Heroes (Time Out units)

Some questions put to Cadbury UK by the BBC, with their answers:

7. Do your products that contain palm oil state that on the label? If not, why not?
We use a number of different vegetable oils in our products, for example, coconut oil, shea oil, sunflower oil and palm oil and we describe these collectively as vegetable oils, which is line with UK labelling requirements.

8. Which of your products contain palm oil or palm kernel oil?
Cadbury uses a variety of vegetable fats in small amounts in some of our products. For example in the UK we have used vegetable fats, including palm oil, in most of our products for more than 50 years. The texture and flavour created by this use of vegetable fat is generally preferred by UK consumers.

I feel that most countries would tend to prefer what they have grown up with, as taste is an individual thing. One thing that I am sure we (British and Australians) would agree on though is that either of our Cadburys would easily beat the Malaysian or Indian Cadbury versions

About a 100 years ago: Cadbury Milk Chocolate in 1897 was a very coarse, dry eating chocolate, made by blending milk powder with cocoa, cocoa butter and sugar. By today’s standards the chocolate wasn’t particularly good – it was very coarse and dry and neither sweet nor milky enough.http://www.cadbury.co.uk

I cannot find the date that Cadbury UK began to add Palm Oil, but Cadbury Australia added it from 2006 to 2009.

According to http://www.cadbury.co.uk up to 5% vegetable fat is added – this stabilises the chocolate and gives the ideal texture to ensure that the melting properties of the chocolate are precise and preserve the taste and ideal texture of the chocolate.
