Salmonella Tainted Cadbury Chocolates
Who doesn’t love chocolate? We eat our fair share but our favorite brand is See’s Candies.
Although it’s five months too late, Cadbury will be burying a million chocolate bars and Easter eggs that were recalled this past Monday from shop shelves and warehouses across the UK. They may be the cause of an outbreak of salmonella montevideo food poisoning that affected at least 53 people, mostly children. The chocolate was infected by a leaking waste-water pipe at one of the Cadbury factories.
The company could not reveal where it would be buried,but warned children against embarking on a Charlie And The Chocolate Factory-style hunt for the buried confectionery, saying: ‘We would not encourage anybody to try to find the discarded chocolate.’
If people get so desperate for chocolate so as to go digging around a landfill, I’d question their priorities.

What a horrible thing to have happen. After hearing about this, you will have to wonder every time you take a bite of chocolate.

Well, I suppose it’s not entirely bad if it makes me hesitate before indulging. ;)
