Crazy bullshit
A picture shows a real Cadbury "Eid egg", a halal-certified milk chocolate egg.
Spread on: Social media, UK, February 2026 (during Lent and Ramadan)
The real story
Mondelēz International, which owns Cadbury, confirmed the picture does not show a real product. It seems to have started on a parody account as satire, but many people took it at face value. It spread at a time when Lent and Ramadan overlapped, which made it feel plausible.
The fact-checker's verdict: “False”. Our label never goes further than theirs.
How to spot it
Check whether the original poster is a parody account before treating a 'new product' picture as real.
