The iconic chocolate brand Cadbury has come under the radar as Twitterati have claimed that gelatin used in their products is ‘derived from beef’, which allegedly hurts religious sentiments. Recently, films, actors, clothing brands, and even advertisements have found themselves being boycotted on social media. This boycott culture is slowly growing and gaining traction on social media and otherwise.
Social media users are widely sharing a screenshot of a webpage claiming that gelatine used in Cadbury is “halal certified and derived from beef”.
Fact Check:
As per reports, the screenshot is from an older version of the brand’s Australian website. Last year as well the same claim was made, following which the website was updated to reflect that it is from its “Australian” branch.
The firm had then clarified that all its products made in India were ‘100% vegetarian’ and that the ‘green dot on the wrapper’ certifies the same.
Meanwhile, Cadbury is yet to react to the latest boycott trend.
