Did you know that the Cadbury Chocolate company was outsourcing it’s chocolate production to China? According to an article written by Christine Park in an ABC new release, September 30, Cadbury has recalled the following list of products:
- Cadbury Dark Chocette 45g
- Cadbury Dark Chocette 80 g
- Cadbury Eclairs 180g
-
Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate 150 g Pumpkin
- Cadbury Dark Chocolate 40 g
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bulk Pack 5 kg
- Cadbury Cark Chocolate Bult Pack 5kg
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut Chocolate Bulk Pack 5 kg
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Cookies Chocolate Bulk Pack 5 kg
- Cadbury Hazelnut Praline Chocolate 312 g (2008 Chinese New Year)
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate 300g (2008 Chinese New Year)
This recall follows the food safety scandal which followed the discovery of melamine in powdeded baby milk. Some 54,000 children have suffered kidney stones or severe illnesses from drinking such contaminated milk. Four children have died.
Cadbury has recalled its Chinese products as a safety precaution resulting from these reports. There is no information concerning how much melamine the chocolate contained. However, a company spokesman indicated that preliminary results showed that Chinese-made chocolates contain industrial melamine. He failed to say how much.
I thought you might want to know about this, since a lot of Cadbury Chocolate is sold in the USA, as well as, other countries.
