Cadbury withdraws chocolate bars

23 Jun, 5:30 PM

More than a million Cadbury chocolate bars are being taken off the shelves over fears they may be contaminated with salmonella. :-5

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

The affected products are the 250g Dairy Milk Turkish, Dairy Milk Caramel and Dairy Milk Mint bars, the Dairy Milk 8 chunk, the 1kg Dairy Milk bar, the 105g Dairy Milk Buttons Easter Egg, and the 10p Freddo bar.

A Cadbury spokesman said: "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."

Cadbury said anyone who had eaten a chocolate bar over the past few days should not be concerned.

A 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."

The free helpline number for Cadbury is 0800 818181. Uneaten products should be returned to Cadbury Recall, Freepost MID20061, Birmingham B3O 2QZ, and a refund will be given.

Oh no! No more Cadburys choc! (well not for a while anyway!)
