Thanks for the tip Sue!  I am off there tomorrow to check out if there any old ones left on the shelf.

Our local organic market stocks some products marked "Organic and Biodynamic - Product of China".  I must admit that I am sceptical of their organic certification standards, and usually avoid anything produced there like the plague.  The new method of "getting produce in through the back door" from China via NZ is a big concern.

I've tried a couple of stores with no luck either. I won't be buying anymore home brand cocoa. Woollies have lost another customer

I've heard that Coles are quite good at replying to customers....(a friend of mine complained about the quality of the fruit & veg bags at her local store and they changed them a few weeks later)...I wonder if enough people wrote to WW, they might do do something. Probably not, but they are certainly going to loose people buying that product....most home cooks know of the quality of their old cocoa.

Worth a try. I normally shop at Coles but go to Wooloes to buy cocoa. I have a new packet in the cupboard but haven't needed it yet. Thanks for the heads up.

I have written to Woolworths and have asked them to respond to these comments.  Will let you know when/if I receive a reply back.

I've become a bit of a WW chatter. I started it when my local one was changing the prices of fruit between me selecting it and paying for it.
I've always found them helpful, although they don't always agree with me. I try to send positive things as well as problems so that they don't go 'oh it's her again!' 

You just go to their website and use contact us.
