Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 Posted in Health Tips
One of the world’s largest chocolate makers, Britain’s Cadbury, became the latest victim of China’s tainted milk scandal Monday, ordering a recall of its Chinese-made products after questionable findings in tests.
The 11 recalled items were sold in parts of Asia and the Pacific, the company said in a statement. Cadbury’s chocolates sold in the United States were not affected, said a spokesman for Hershey’s, Cadbury’s sole U.S. distributor.
Meanwhile, Kraft Foods, the maker of Oreo cookies, and Mars, the maker of M&Ms and Snickers candy, questioned the findings of Indonesian tests that identified melamine in samples of their products made in China.
Both Kraft Foods and Mars said they would comply with an Indonesian recall but planned to conduct their own tests and look into the possibility the tainted products were counterfeits.
The recalled products included:-
- Cadbury Dark Chocette, 45 grams;
- Cadbury Dark Chocette, 80 grams;
- Cadbury Eclairs, 180 grams;
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Pumpkin, 150 grams;
- Cadbury Dark Chocolate, 40 grams;
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5 kilograms;
- Cadbury Dark Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5 kilograms;
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5 kilograms;
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Cookies Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5 kilograms;
- Cadbury Hazelnut Praline Chocolate (2008 Chinese New Year), 312 grams;
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate (2008 Chinese New Year), 300 grams.
