“You will be reassured that our chocolate contains no palm oil or vegetable oils, only natural cocoa butter as we believe this delivers the best taste and product experiences.

However, palm oil has unique flavour and texture properties that are difficult to match for the centres of chocolates, so we use this in a number of centres.

We are concerned about the impact that some palm oil growers have on the environment and only use suppliers who are members of the Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

We are also committed to ensuring all our bulk supplies of palm oil are sustainably sourced before 2012.”
