From today, Australian-made Cadbury Moro bars will start appearing on New Zealand shelves.
Cadbury's Dunedin factory now specialises in making a range of products for the New Zealand and Australian markets.
This includes boxed chocolates such as Roses and Milk Tray, and iconic Kiwi favourites Pinky and Marshmallow Eggs.
It will soon also be making Turkish Delight for Australian and New Zealand consumption.
In the same way that New Zealand has taken over manufacturing from some Australian factories, these changes mean that some products previously made in New Zealand will now move to Australia. One of these products is Moro.
Cadbury New Zealand Managing Director, Matthew Oldham, says, "We know how much Kiwis love the chocolate we make here in New Zealand. However these production changes are essential to help us secure the future of the Dunedin factory and secure hundreds of jobs for Kiwis - the future of New Zealand manufacturing lies in exporting as well as continuing to make some iconic products here such as Jaffas, Pinky, Chocolate Fish and Buzz Bar."
The first batch of Australian-made Moro will be rolled out across 60g bars, with 85g twin packs and share-packs to arrive on shelves over the next few weeks, and Cadbury is keen to ensure the Australian-made Moro meets with Kiwis' expectations.
Matthew Oldham says, "While we can't change the fact that Moro now has to be made in Australia, we plan to do everything we can to ensure Kiwis keep enjoying it.
"Making a chocolate bar in a different factory is like making a cake in a different kitchen - you can't always guarantee it will turn out exactly the same. Though we've been working hard to get it right, there may be some slight changes noticeable in the initial batches of Moro made in our Australian factory.
"However we have a unique situation with Moro in that we're able to refine and develop the way it is made at our Australian factory to ensure it remains a chocolate bar that Kiwis love. So we're asking New Zealand Moro lovers to lend us their tastebuds and give us their input.
"We really want to hear what chocolate fans have to say about Moro so that we can be sure we've got it right."
New Zealand chocolate fans who would like to give their thoughts can participate in a survey at www.choclovers.co.nz or by calling 0800 CADBURY.

What a con. In other words,
What a con. In other words, buy the Aussie bar and taste it for us, and then buy another. Just a sly way to get people to buy a bar they should be boycotting. What about jobs for Kiwis? Cadbury obviously puts profits above people.
at least mars bars will stay
at least mars bars will stay taste the same - taste better anyway
Well Davius...New Zealand is
Well Davius...New Zealand is not so special that it can dump on its industry and expect some magic fairy to wave a wand and give them better luck than anyone else.
The fact is the most lucky countries at first sight so often end up the messed up countries. New Zealand such a paradise has become a paradise lost. They have been cocky with their success that was served up on a silver platter as they were well placed in the world in their early years and have assumed they are some sort of superior wisdom or breed that are immune from reality and consequence of action.
New Zealand thought putting people first was to give them rights without responsibility and Money for irresponsibility.
Social welfare states are always doomed unless the saftey net is just small enough to stop an utter disaster and painful enough to motivate a struggle to Success.
Get used to it New Zealand!
You Chose the Left wing and the extreme at that, and now as the left wing always is, you are Left behind.
Dishing out money to whiners and Groaners and Oiling every! squeaky hinge Just means More hinges will squeak and more Whiners will groan. It is called adaption.
If a society rewards victims of nothing but lack of effort and mockers of success...Well you will create the snowball that Kills effort and success.
Where rights are the highest virtue and responsibility is for the other one.
So You have killed industrty in NZ...It is not like you aint seen the express train coming. You have been staring it in the face for a couple or three decades.
You have hated the chance of Roger Douglas as he smacked NZ's bottom with reality. But when the good fruit of that pain came in you thought it was all some greatness of your folly and hated the smacker and carried on in the stupidity of lefty economy Killing politics. Helen kept NZ afloat selling houses to foreigners making a Humungous housing boom covering the henoraging Kiwis, 10% vof NZ on her mis-watch)that was doomed as soon as the arrivals and free Kiwi passport signs came down. It covered for the Killing of the Export industry with the illusion of Real estate wealth. But...New Zealand manufacturers one after another have escaped this swamp that sucks the life out of any profitable business...as if that were an evil in itself.
They go to the Lucky land, Aussie where they Love their businesses making Money or to China Vietnam Indonesia Malaysia where ego and salary levels match.
Here we have a minimum wage far beyond our minimum worth ....and no wonder we have no real long term wealth being developed!
If you Hate your kids and your future and your old age keep up this Stupid anti human nature commy crap that kills ambition and rewards Whiners Moaners and people with rights but no responsibilities...
Go New Zealand...You can do it!
If anybody can a Kiwi Can....Frig up their own Paradise of a country perfectly.
