The last chocolate bars have been made at a Cadbury factory in Britain after production was switched to Poland.

Campaigners fighting to save the plant, which has been taken over by US food giant Kraft, described it as a sad day.

Kraft had promised to keep the operation there, but backtracked and said it would shut the plant, at Keynsham near Bristol, with the loss of 400 jobs.

The factory had made Fry’s Chocolate Creams since 1919.

Nearly all the ­chocolate made in Poland will be transported 1,200 miles to Britain to be eaten here.

Former worker Amoree Radford said: “It’s a shame we cannot keep chocolate-making in this country.”
