Cadbury Malaysia has previously attracted Dairy Milk, after randomized trials to prove the product is not kosher. Cadbury Malaysia All products are not sold out, and Mondelez income in Malaysia is only 15 percent of all revenue in the Asia-Pacific.
However, the findings of lard in Malaysia feared harm Cadbury product marketing in Indonesia and the Middle East.
Malaysian retail merchants group, entirely Muslim, said about 800 stores stop selling Cadbury members.
"It's a matter of religion," said Sheikh Abdul Kareem Khadaied, research head of the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia. "This case affects Muslims."

"It's only two products are known to be kosher, but other products are also made by the same mechanism. That's what makes us doubt with all products Cadbury Malaysia," said Bazeer Ahmad, advisor to the Malaysian Retail Merchants Association.
