Mondelez India Foods / Cadbury India Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

I purchased a box of 72 pieces Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolates at a cost of Rs.360/- from a store in the main market of Gokulpeth Nagpur.
I wanted to distribute these to my colleagues as it’s my birthday today, however to my disappointment, when they opened the chocolates, they saw that the chocolates were degraded
They had pimple like formations with white fungus like appearance on all the opened pieces.

The packaging date on the box is 13/5/13, the product code is K30513, net weight of the box is 612g.
The note on the chocolate says “Best before 12 months from packaging”, which is definitely not the case.
We opened 5-7 pieces and all of them were alike. We “felt” the rest of the pieces from over the wrapping, and ALL of them are the same.

Could you please look into this on priority?

Let me know if any additional information is required.

Hoping a quick turnaround and a quick action,

Hi,

I bought a Cadburys Temptations(65 Rs pack) yesterday in my area.. I am always cautious about expiry date and checked the date of manufacturing. It was mentioned as May2013 and best before 9 months from the date of packing. But when i opened it there white coloured fungus all over the chocolate.
Dont know what to do!!! Anybody to guide me.

Thanks,
Krishna

Thank you for the new wrapper for Flake! It provides fantastic security! however, every Cadbury flake I have had since the new wrapper has been introduced is now stale! I remember when Flake was sooooo in the mouth gorgeous and just melted with the first mouthful! it is now just a lump of chocolate and does not resemble the 'Good old fashioned' Flake at all!
The 'lump' doesn't even taste fresh! Yuch! It tastes stale! Sometimes when opening it the chocolate even looks 'white' - which, in my book, is stale?
Not the same quality you used to have! What is going on?

HI Team,
Yesterday I bought 10 sachets of CADBURY DAIRY MILK SHOTS .Out of that I was surprised to see that instead of 2 marbles,there was only one marble in one of the sachet.This type of manufacturing defects are increasing day by day which is intolerable & it is not at all expected from a company like CADBURY which is a PRESTIGIOUS MNC.I have kept the same sachet containing one marble with me unopned.I therefore request you to look into this matter so that this type of manufacturing defects should not occur in future to save the reputation of your company as well as to maintain to maintain my confidence & faith in your company.
Thanks,

We purchased cadbury 5 star home pack from reliance mart in isckon mall, ahmedabad.. it was a sealed packbut when we opened it there were only five pieces of 5 star instead of six pieces as mentioned at the back of pack.

This is a good way of cheating common people like us.

Pls take care of our grievance.

For your reference, the details of the product are below-
Code -M30308
Packed on 08/03/2013

Waiting for a positive step.
Feel free to revert in case of further details.

Hi, My name is Prince Jain from New Delhi.

Wanted to share a worst scenario i had with such a branded and number 1 choclate company in India with Cadbury.

Day before yesterday on 29/10/12 i had purchased one Darily milk choclate of rs 20 / - from a shop whose TAG number is :[protected].. on that choclate Pkd date is : 03/12 and expiry is mentioned as best before 24 months.

Now when i opened and had two three bites it was mixed with Fungi and many more bacteria was there in it. Before i saw i already bites of that choclate after my throat got infected and i did vomiting very badly.
Now guide is there any Audit department in such a big company how you are making fool of customer. I do have photos of that choclate for your reference. I have all the proofs form Doctor prescription also mentioning about throat infection.

I cannot expect such a ridiculous behaviour from such a big organization who is having so faithful name in market.
Diwali season is coming and before that only you have started doing mixtures in quality.

Now i need to highlight this matter as much as i can so that all should be aware of that Cadbury is going something wrong in their products as Diwali is coming,. So better it should happen with any body else also .

Regards,
Prince

I, Asoke Das, have been the distributor of Cadbury India Pvt Ltd. since last 20 years from Dakshineswar to Birati market. On 23rd Sep 2012, I was sacked without a single day notice. Ten people are associated with my organization. They all got out from the work in that day including me as I do not have any other setup to put them. Still I want to work with Cadbury in mutual understanding.
Now I am holding 12 lacs stock in my go-down. They are neither willing to transfer the stock nor evaluate as rupee value. Even a lot of damage stock are there. They are not entertaining now. Without getting NOC(No objection certificate), they dispatched the cadbury goods to a new distributor in my area. Please help me out of this and I need clear solution.

Dear Cadbury Team

I bought 2 bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk from a general store in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi. On opening the first bar, I found small white growths in the cracks of the chocolate. I checked the manufacturing date of the chocolate and it showed 06/12 which means its is within limits of expiry. I know that at times due to melting and freezing chocolate develops white spots on the surface and have seen them many a times and know it is not hazardous to the health but this is a growth or may be eggs of a worm/insect.

I did check your website for any citation of such things and could only find the below FAQ which no where resembles the growth that is there on the chocolate bar purchased by me.

The chocolate bar that I purchased has white spots on the surface? Why does this happen?
When chocolate has undergone prolonged exposure to heat and subsequent cooling it results in discolouration of the surface. This is caused by the separation of the cocoa butter, which solidifies on the surface giving it a white appearance.

Besides when I opened the second chocolate bar, it was completely fine with no such growths. It clearly means that its not the fault of the shopkeeper in terms of improper storage or because of the temperature changes that would have happened during refrigeration of the bar. I do remember the case when some worms were found out in chocolate and I guess now that people have completely forgotten and gone back with their loyalties of cadbury, company has decided to take the quality for a ride again.

I would really like to understand the circumstances under which such growth occurs from your R&D department and also the quality measures taken by the company to ensure that the food items delivered are safe to be consumed by the consumers.

I am attaching the photographs of the chocolate and the growth for your reference. Please do respond to the questions asked with a satisfactory reply because it dosent take time for these pictures to go viral and people believe in what they see.

This is regarding the current Cadbury Bournville ad being aired.
This ad has a very negative message and impact. Not only the ad is of very bad taste but also highly racist.

Even if we ignore the portrayal of 'slavery, exploitation, color discrimination and colonialism' , there is no possible way to ignore how cruelly the bean (crying like a baby) is thrown away. Its plain cruel and disturbing to watch. This ad lacks in morality and in no way is ethical or suitable for broadcasting!

Hi to all,

I bought dairy milk fruit & nut from Shivalaya (super market) ,Ambattur on 7th august 2012. When i opened it today evening i found that the color of the product was light brown and immediately broken in to pieces e small pieces which is not the case with the usual brand. Then i took the chocolate to the shop were i bought, the person incharge replied that he cannot do anything for that and if i need he may launch a complaint by a week later. He also told that this is not his responsibility, the company have to deal with this problem.

So kindly stop eating nuts for which i have the sample proof and shivalaya super market is not customer friendly.

Just had cadbury bournville raisin & nut mfd05/12 B code T20512 cadbury with a hall (less) material inside.
photograph attached.
My children said .kidi ne kha liya hoga( read in hindi)

I bought dairy milk chocolates from the market ,later found them to be unfit for consumption ,contacted customer care no. registered my complain but even after 11 days no response.

Cadbury's dairy milk eclairs chocolate packet does not have MRP printed. The quantity, code and packed is printed.

In india MRP is mandatory for the consumer products but it is not printed, how this is being marketed with the permission of foods & drugs department

Kumar Ramasamy

We made a complaint against Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut 4 days back(on the day of purchase). The chocolate was rough in texture & became powderish when we had it. Looks like its spoilt. After calling the customer care, they just collected the contact details but NO RESPONSE. They only tell us that the complaint is forwarded. We bought 4 chocolates out of which we opened 2 and both were spoilt as visible in the picture.
Date of purchase : 19/7/2012
Packed Date : 01/12
Code: H20120
Cost : Rs 60/- each

Very bad response from CADBURY TEAM..BADLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!

i found a hair inside my fruit n nut. how can this be accepted from a brand like cadbury.

I bought a Cadbury Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut on 20th June 2012 from Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, Delhi, India and I was not satisfied with the product so I immediately called up on Cadbury India customer care number but the call was received only after 15-20 minutes. I made a complaint regarding the product and the reference I got is #593507

I haven't got any call or any kind of help from Cadbury India till now. Its been full 5 Days!!

Is this how Cadbury India works and is this what attitude it has for its customers?

SAD!

I want a reply to my query ASAP else I am approcahing the Consumer Court!

Thank you
Angadpal Singh

I purchased a packet of freddo frogs for the kids lunches and when i pulled them out to put in their lunch boxes there was packets still sealed without any frogs in them...very disappointing as i always buy cadburys and i have had a few complaints but this is the first time i have actually put in a complaint! ;(

To Quality Control Team,

We are a regular consumer of Cadbury. Today we have brought a two packets of "cadbury celebrations". Once we opened the pieces, it was observed that it contains a worm in it and were not fit for consumption. I am attaching herewith the pictures with batch details in order to take corrective actions.

Looking forward for your action to prevent any kind of food poisoning on the eve of Holi.

Best Regards,
Jayesh Lapasia
