Cadbury launch investigation into 99 Flake after complaints

Ice cream van owners have raised concerns about discoloured 99 Flakes, describing them as unsellable due to a white tinge.

It is believed the problems stem from wholesalers storing Flakes incorrectly in recent hot weather.

Lawrence Glauser, of Lorenzo’s Ices in East Yorks, thinks the coating is a harmless but unappealing film that appears on chocolate if cocoa butter melts and separates.

One Mr Whippy vendor told The Sun : “We’re coming into summer. If we get a heatwave next week, Flakes are going to fly out.” “People expect Cadbury and I don’t want to use other brands.”

Both vendors claim there has been a quality drop since 99 Flake production moved from the UK to Egypt in 2020.

Cadbury said: “We are reviewing what’s happened to get back to the high-quality people expect from us.”

One Mr Whippy vendor who complained to Cadbury was told to return them to his wholesaler.
