Cadbury withdraw chocolate bars

[Chloe O'brien]

More than a million Cadbury chocolate bars are being taken off the shelves amid a salmonella scare.
The company said it had agreed to recall seven of its most popular products in the UK after consultation with the Food Standards Agency. (http://www.food.gov.uk/)
Cadbury's affected products (http://www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/information/product_recall) 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."
UK Managing Director Simon Baldry apologised for any inconvenience caused.
He added: "We've been making chocolate for over 100 years, and quality has always come first.
"We've taken this precautionary step because our consumers are our highest priority."

Hmm, although I'm quite a big chocolate eater :o I don't think I've eaten any of these much except the Freddo, Dairy Milk and maybe the eight chunk lately... only like one or two though - so I'm probably ok :)
Though Samonella is caused by the eggs isn't it... but aren't all the bad microbes killed when it's cooked? :hmm:
The Easter Egg though? Must have been going on quite a bit considering Easter was two months ago so this must have been going on quite a while :eek: :hmm:

:eek: I've eaten the eight chunk like every day!

[Chloe-Elise]

Easter Egg?!That was ages ago! I think I had that Easter egg actually....:hmm:
Isn't salmonella quite dangerous? I don't know much about it really.

I think if you have a large amount of it yeah it is... but if you only have a bit it's ok... not sure tbh :hmm:

we have got some in the fridge at the moment and are still eating it! havent had salmonella food poinoning yet from it anyway!
the risk is tiny and these things always get blown up out of propertion.

The risk is really really tiny but they have to remove the chocolate for legal reasons. I cant remember but ther was food a while back where everyone was freaking out about it i cant remeber what it was though.

[Chris_2k11]
