Cadbury Eggs Company Schweppes Melts Amid Profits Gloom

Its more bad news for Cadbury as the company announced that higher milk prices will badly affect their margins and the £7 billion sale of their US drinks operation may not happen.

This news saw £760 wiped from shares in Cadbury Schweppes recently.

Higher milk prices will affect Cadbury as the company is famous for using a “glass and a half” of full-cream milk in every half pound of Dairy Milk chocolate.

Cadbury’s share of the confectionery market in the UK dropped by a percentage point. This was mainly due the a mass recall of Cadbury Eggs. The Cadbury Eggs did not have the proper labels printed on them and as there was a mistake in the printing of nut allergy information on the Cadbury Eggs labels at Easter.

The Cadbury Eggs are very popular at Easter time so the Cadbury Eggs recall hit Cadbury pretty badly.

What do you think of Cadbury at the moment?

Is this problem bigger than just Cadbury Eggs?
