Cadbury To Roll Out Entirely Vegan Chocolate Bar

Cadbury is finally launching a vegan version of the UK's favourite chocolate bar. Cadbury Plant Bar, a plant-based alternative to Cadbury Dairy Milk, will be soon available to buy in select seupermarkets across the UK.

The vegan chocolate bar was developed for over two years at Mondelez International’s Global Centre of Excellence for Chocolate Research and Development in Bournville. The bar uses almond paste instead of milk and retains the creamy taste you expect from Cadbury. Almond paste provides a similar taste and texture to dairy milk ingredients and offers a hint of nuttiness.

Cadbury Plant Bar will be available in two flavours, Smooth Chocolate and Smooth Chocolate with Salted Caramel pieces. Both bars are suitable for vegans and are registered by the Vegan Society.

As part of the company’s commitment to sustainable packaging, the Cadbury Plant Bar range will be wrapped in 100% plant-based packaging made from ISCC certified bio-sourced plastics from renewable sources.

Louise Stigant, UK Managing Director, Mondelēz International, commented: “With 500,000 participants in this year’s Veganuary – double the number of participants from the year before, the increasing public appetite for varied snacking options and plant-based alternatives has never been more apparent. At Mondelēz, evolving consumer demands have long informed our ambition to provide a wide range of products that work for everyone and the new Cadbury Plant Bar range is the latest stop on this journey.”

Ericka Durgahee, Vegan Trademark Marketing Manager, Vegan Society, said: “As we approach World Vegan Day on 1st November, the Vegan Society is thrilled that anyone who misses Cadbury chocolate as a vegan can now enjoy their favourite delicious chocolate bar without the use of animal products. We know how hard Mondelez has worked to bring this bar to life and give more options to everyone. We look forward to trying them when they launch!”  

Priced at £2.50. for 90g bar, Cadbury Plant Bar will be available in select supermarkets from November and nationwide from January 2022.
