Cadbury chocolates has been pulled out of the shops and restaurants of Auckland zoo due to the decision of the manufacturer’s decision to start make use of palm oil instead of cocoa butter.
Other products that contain palm oil is also being banned to sell in the auckland zoo owing to the reason thst palm oil production will lead to rainforest destruction across Southeast Asia, making orangutans and other species at risk.
