Salmonella being feared to Contaminate Cadbury Chocolates

More than a million Cadbury chocolate bars are in the process of being taken off the shelves as it is feared that they may be contaminated with salmonella.

According to the company, it had agreed to recall seven of its most popular products in the UK after consultation with the Food Standards Agency.

The products feared to be affected include: 250g Dairy Milk Turkish, Dairy Milk Caramel, Dairy Milk Mint, Dairy Milk 8 chunk, 1kg Dairy Milk bar, 105g Dairy Milk Buttons Easter Egg and 10p Freddo bar.

As said by a Cadbury spokesman, "This is being done purely as a precautionary measure, as some of these products may contain minute traces of salmonella.” "Cadbury has identified the source of the problem and rectified it, and is taking steps to ensure these particular products are no longer available for sale."
He added, "Cadbury expects to have fresh stocks of these products back on the market in the near future."

However, Cadbury also mentioned that anyone who had eaten a chocolate bar over the past few days should not be concerned.
Another spokesman said, "The levels are significantly below the standard that would be any health problem, but we are taking this measure as a precaution.” "If there are people who have eaten one of these chocolate bars today they should not worry, but they can get in touch with us if they are concerned for a full refund."

Despite the fear of contamination it can be said without any doubts that the company has been manufacturing chocolate for more than 100 years and has always treated public wellbeing as its "highest priority".
