No, Cadbury hasn’t removed the word ‘Easter’ from its chocolate eggs, and they aren’t certified halal either (although they say most of their chocolate is suitable for those following a halal diet).
UK Cadbury chocolate eggs do say ‘Easter’ on them - Full Fact
The company says its Easter eggs aren’t halal certified either, contrary to what has been claimed online.

This is wonderful. Dick Van Dyke is 99 on Friday, and Coldplay pay tribute to him! We should do more of this. Show people how much they are loved whilst they are around to appreciate it. I shed a little tear, I must admit! Ace.
