I recently bought Cadbury’s chocolate in Jeonju and it was produced in Australia. And this video from the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7642141.stm) has an opinion on tainted chinese Cadbury’s chocolate and doesn’t mention Korea. I am a little confused as to why Chinese chocolate would be exported to Australia when according to my pack they make it there but maybe it is better to be safe than sorry!

Many of the Australian products are manufactured domestically, but the full range of products isn’t made in all countries. In the case of Australia, melamine has been found in 180g bags of Chocolate Eclairs made in China for the market down under. Apparently that is the only item in Oz that was manufactured in China. Not all factories produce all products, so while it seems odd, that’s the way the supply chain works. Cadbury doesn’t have a plant in Korea, so all chocolates from them available here are imported mostly from China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.
