A chocolate lover has declared Aldi's chocolate superior to Cadbury after a taste test, citing the absence of palm oil as a key factor. Bianca Rosina sampled every Aldi chocolate bar against its Cadbury equivalent and shared her findings on TikTok.
Rosina praised Aldi's Choceur Milk and Fruit and Nut bars, priced at £1.85 for 200g, noting they contain no palm oil and a minimum of 28% cocoa solids, compared to Cadbury's 20%. She also highlighted Milka Alpine Milk chocolate, at £1.50 for 90g with 33% cocoa solids, nearly matching Lindt and M&S.
Sampling Aldi's Dairyfine Milk Chocolate, Rosina said: 'I'm very surprised. That's better than Cadbury. It hasn't left any kind of gritty, itchy feeling.' She also noted the Rainforest Alliance Certified logo on the wrapper. In a subsequent video, she declared: 'I won't be buying Cadbury's chocolate again.'
Other TikTok users agreed, with one saying: 'The Fruit and Nut is amazing! Prefer it now over Cadbury.' Another added: 'Love the Fruit and Nut, big pieces of nuts, lovely.' A third commented: 'To be honest Cadbury have put me off buying chocolate in any form.'
Greenpeace research found that between 2015 and 2017, 22 of Cadbury owner Mondelēz International's palm oil suppliers destroyed 70,000 hectares of rainforest, with an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 orangutans killed annually. Mondelēz has said it remains committed to driving change in the palm oil sector.
