CHOC-lovers are fuming after Cadbury reduced the size of its Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks by a third.
New packs of four are being sold for £1.40, even though packs of six cost the same last month.
The change has been blasted by shoppers, including many parents who bought them as kids’ snacks.
One fumed on the Tesco website: “Advertised as new, only thing new is you get 4 instead of 6!! For the same price. Disgusting!”
A second said: “Stop reducing how much is in the packet and charging the same price!!!”
A third added: “Was a six pack now a four pack for the same price, a third less chocolate, unacceptable shrinkflation.”
It comes after Cadbury reduced packs of Freddos from five to four and Cadbury Dairy Milk multipacks were cut from nine bars to seven.
Cadbury said: “We understand the economic pressures that consumers continue to face and any changes to our product sizes is a last resort for our business.
“However, as a food producer, we are continuing to experience significantly higher input costs across our supply chain, with ingredients such as cocoa and dairy, which are widely used in our products, costing far more than they have done previously.
“Meanwhile, other costs like energy and transport, also remain high. This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges
“As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bars multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.”
Dan Coatsworth, analyst at the investment firm AJ Bell, explained: “The cost of producing chocolate has gone up a lot in recent years, driving up prices and prompting firms to make products smaller.
“When production costs rocket, companies only have a limited range of options.
“They can pass on the costs to the customer through higher prices, which is difficult with a product like chocolate where people are often looking for a cheap treat.
“Another option is to reduce the size of the product in order to reduce the manufacturing cost for each bar of chocolate. Or they can try a combination of the two.
“As a last resort, companies may have to tolerate lower profit margins, especially if consumers refuse to tolerate price rises and stop buying.”
The British Retail Consortium said global cocoa prices are around three times higher than in 2022, after being badly affected by poor harvests in parts of Africa.
PRINCE William will today urge the world to help save our seas — as he joins Sir David Attenborough to discuss deteriorating oceans.
William is expected to call on everyone to “think big in your actions” when he highlights the urgency of the situation in a landmark speech.
In the address in Monaco at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum, he will say: “Let us act together with urgency and optimism while we still have the chance.”
The father of three, 42, is there as founder of the Earthshot environmental prize which has “Revive Our Oceans” as one of its themes.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: “This speech is the Prince of Wales calling for action to save our oceans now.
“The world is watching. This is him using his platform to call for more to be done sooner rather than later.”
William sits down with Sir David, 99, to celebrate the environmentalist’s new film, Ocean, which is released on streaming platforms today, World Oceans Day.
The Prince asks: “David, from what you’ve seen over the years, what state would you say the oceans are in right now?”
He replies: “The awful thing is it’s hidden from you and from me and from most people.
“The thing I’m appalled by when I first saw the shots taken for this film are what we have done to the deep ocean floor is just unspeakably awful.
“If you did anything remotely like it on land everybody was up in arms. If this film . . . just shifts public awareness, it will be very, very important.
“And I can only hope that people who see it will recognise that something must be done before we destroy this great treasure.”
Asked by the Prince if there are things deep down in the oceans “we’ve never seen”, he answers that it is “beyond question”.
They also discuss Sir David’s decades of ocean exploration and the vital role the ocean has in supporting and sustaining life on Earth.
Wills and Sir David also speak about the importance of remaining optimistic about ocean protection and the role younger people play.
At the beginning of the film, Sir David has the Prince in stitches as he tries on a diving helmet used in filming 1990’s The Trials of Life.
They also inspect an underwater camera used in filming Ocean.
LOVE ISLANDER Jack Fincham and former Towie star Chloe Brockett are back together – after splitting for the sixth time.
The reality couple broke up in April following a string of heated rows, with Jack moving out of their shared home.
But I can now reveal they were spotted shopping at Swanley Market in Kent.
A source said: “Chloe and Jack have been on and off for months but have finally put their differences aside to give their relationship another chance.
“They really want to make it work so have been enjoying some low-key dates as they gradually build the trust.
“They have realised they have something special so want to put their time and energy into making it work.”
Earlier this week they sparked rumours of a reunion when they shared snaps on their respective Instagrams from the same East London market.
Jack posed outside the Birdcage pub at Bethnal Green’s Columbia Road Flower Market on Sunday.
Then Chloe posted from the same spot with a huge bouquet of flowers.
Just last month Jack had told The Sun that he still loves Chloe.
He shared: “I don’t know what will happen between us.
“I still love her. I doubt it’s over for good.”
