Milk Tray - what happened?!

I find Cadbury chocolate ‘greasy’ nowadays. I don’t eat it often but I’ve gone off it. I thought it was my tastebuds but your comment Grandmabatty seems to tie in better!

There is a recall on these apparently.
Stop eating them I think.

Cadbury's chocolate has definitely changed - and not for the better - since the company was taken over by Mondelez.

The use of palm oil I believe has changed the taste

Dear Gransnetters, I was given a large box of Milk Tray at Christmas. I haven’t had one for decades so I was delighted and without parents to tell me not to eat them all at once I tore off the lid and began to eat ( well, gobble my gut be a truer description) but realised by about the sixth that not only did they all taste the same but that gorgeous Cadbury flavour was missing. My adult children helped in my taste test and they all thought the same. I appreciate that like Roses and Quality Street the quality and quantity have changed in order to keep them at a reasonable price point but these really were incredibly bland. Has anyone else found this? Or have we been spoiled by eating chocolate with a much higher percentage of cocoa solids than we had in the past?
