According to Daily Express - Main, Emily Marriott described being gobsmacked by the discovery, as she exclusively uses colored Mini Eggs to decorate her chocolate bakes for her business. The bag lacked sufficient colored eggs, forcing her to purchase more Mini Eggs to meet her needs. According to Daily Express - Main, she described this as an annoyance for her business, noting that people want colored eggs for decoration, and using all white ones changes the look and dynamic of the whole bake.
She added that she has seen many other people posting online about finding bags of Mini Eggs with predominantly white eggs, suggesting this is not an isolated incident. A spokesperson for Mondelēz International, which owns Cadbury, made a statement about Cadbury Mini Eggs, but the full details of the response and any explanation for the lack of color mixture remain unclear. It is unknown how widespread this issue is or what quality control measures are in place for production.
There were four purple and six pink [in the bag] and this isn't the first time.
Whether Cadbury has received other complaints or is taking action has not been confirmed.
I was gobsmacked more than anything.
That bag of mini eggs will get used but I've had to purchase more mini eggs anyway because of the colouring.
People want coloured ones. When I'm decorating something I want to use all the colours. If I decorated everything all white it changes the look and dynamic of the whole bake.
I wrote in my post 'what a waste'. It's not a waste as such but it's annoying as a business when I went out last week and bought all my Easter stock [and had to buy more].
It's an annoyance for us as a business. People have suggested dying the white ones but I won't do this. If you're paying £16 for something why should you have to do anything to it.
I've always got a quarter of a bag left of white eggs. I've seen a lot of other people posting about them finding their mini eggs all white too. You're not getting the mixture of colours. Opening this bag, I thought 'oh dear'.
