The Cadbury Brand is owned by Mondelez International in the European Union and by The Hershey Company in the U.S. >> both companies produce a Cadbury Creme Egg specifically for the Easter season.
THE CADBURY CREME EGG IN THE U.S. DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME INGREDIENTS AS THE CADBURY CREME EGG IN THE EU.
The Cadbury Creme Egg from The Hershey Company in the U.S. contains 4 ingredients banned at Whole Foods including High Fructose Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavor in the shell, Artificial Flavor in the filling and Artificial Color.
Meanwhile, the one from Mondelez for the EU contains no High Fructose Corn Syrup and no Artificial Colors.
