Cadbury isn't universally not halal; rather, some products in specific regions (like Malaysia) faced controversy over potential contamination (pork DNA found in 2014), leading to temporary suspensions, while in places like the UK, they state products are suitable for halal diets but aren't officially certified because they contain no meat (just milk/eggs), making certification commercially unnecessary for the local market, though they're often certified elsewhere for export. The core issue is varying regional standards, ingredient sourcing (like gelatin/emulsifiers), and the cost/benefit of formal certification, leading to different statuses globally.
