Cadbury has upset some fans of its Fruit and Nut bar by adding sultanas to the recipe as well as raisins.

After 90 years in production, the firm said sultanas had been included "to add more variation" and "ensure it's still an affordable treat".

But some customers took to Twitter to vent their anger at the change, which will appear on the shelves at the end of November.

One user Simon Barry wrote: "I hate Cadburys for changing the fruit and nut. Damn the American ownership running perfectly good sweets!"

Another, Ria Gregory, wrote: "Actually disgusted Cadbury's would think it's OK to put sultanas in Fruit and Nut."

Yes, Simon and Ria. It’s the end of the [LIFTED] world.

Heard an explanation of the difference on the radio this morning. Most of the dried fruits the UK eats (and apparently we're one of the world's bigger importers of them) come from Turkey.

Raisins = grapes that have been left out in the sun to air dry. Heat & drying leads to caramalisation which gives dark colour and more sweetness
Sultanas = grapes that are soaked in a particular solution which opens the skin pores in the grape, which are then air dried in the same way. The soaking means they dry quicker, so are less dark and less sweet.

So basically they are the same fruit - they're even the same variety of grape in the main - just one's been messed with a bit before drying. Sultanas are slightly cheaper, as the shorter drying period means you can generate more of them per grape growing season.

If it changes the taste of something you've been buying for years just so the company can save a bit of money, I'd be pissed off too. And of course they'll swear up and down that it tastes the same. Even Cadbury's standard chocolate is bland compared to how it used to be. And some people thought it was sh1t to start with lol.
