A TikTok video revealing that Snickers is made in China is turning Australians off the chocolate bar who say they will be boycotting the brand for good.
The video was
uploaded to the social media site by Jeremy Toh after he made the discovery
while shopping at a Woolworths on Sunday.
Footage shows
a variety of chocolate bars stacked on the shelves at the supermarket before the
camera pans up to a box of Snickers.
‘Did you know
your Snickers are no longer made in Australia?’ a voiceover says.
The man grabs
a chocolate bar before turning it over and aiming the camera at the packaging
where it is revealed the bar is made in China.
A
spokesperson from Mars Wrigley, which manufactures the bar, said the company
had to temporarily source the product from China while their facility at
Ballarat, in regional Victoria, underwent a multi-million dollar upgrade.
They also
said the Australian facility will begin to produce the bars later in the year
and the locally-made product will hit supermarket shelves by next year.
The TikTok
video has already sparked outrage, with many Australians declaring they will no
longer be buying the chocolate bar.
