Cadbury has clarified that its products made and sold in India are 100 percent vegetarian. The clarification came after a screenshot claiming that the company uses gelatin in its products went viral on Twitter recently.

The viral tweet alluded to beef (in the form of gelatin) being used in vegetarian products being sold by the company. The screenshot was allegedly taken from a website saying that if a product contains gelatine as an ingredient it means it was derived from beef.

Soon users called for a boycott of Cadbury's products. Others said the company must be penalised for misguiding consumers.

Another user Rajesh Gehani pointed out that Mondelez Australia has admitted that if they use gelatin in products, the gelatin used is halal certified and derived from beef.
