    Malaysia. A Muslim country.

    Pork fat is probably cheaper than cocoa butter. Someone might have cut corners or maybe a disgruntled employee threw a side of bacon in there for spite. I'd say they could take a bit of a hit from this from Muslim/Jewish sales. Maybe a good short sell in the short term if the story takes wing. It'll be interesting to see how the stock reacts. It trades on the nasdaq under it's parent company Mondelez International, Inc.(MDLZ)

    Then again, I am suddenly getting a craving for bacon dipped in chocolate. :)

    I don't know if all Cadbury UK products are halal, but there's lists saying some of them are.

    So now there's this, of course...

    Muslim groups declare �jihad� on Cadbury, claim wider agenda to weaken faith

    �They have betrayed us Muslims by putting �haram� elements through the foods we consume in our body, to weaken us Muslims.

    �That is why Muslims are weak, divided,� Perkasa Selangor chief Abu Bakar Yahya told reporters.

    Perkid president Ustaz Masridzi Sat said most social ills and apostasy cases in the country involving Muslims stemmed from them consuming food which was not halal.

    �Because the person eats pork it is difficult to guide him to the right path. When the day of judgment comes, that person will be wearing a pig-face because of what he has eaten,� he said.


    and...

    �Will Cadbury wash away the tainted blood in our veins? I want to wash away the tainted blood of my children who have consumed the chocolates... how will money even compensate that?� a Malay woman present shouted hysterically.


    and...

    �We need to unite, we must declare jihad!� said Masridzi to shouts of �Allahuakbar� (God is great!) from the others in attendance.


    :wink:

    Mmmm...chocolate.

    :lol:
