STORYLINE
British chocolate maker Cadbury said on Monday that its tests have “cast doubt” on the safety and integrity of a range of its Chinese-made products.
As a precaution, Cadbury ordered the recall of 11 chocolate products made in China and sold in Hong Kong, as the tainted milk scandal continued to spread.
The products were manufactured in Cadbury’s Beijing plant and distributed to Hong Kong.
But it wasn’t immediately clear if its tests found the industrial chemical melamine – which is at the centre of the powered milk scandal – in the products.
“We appeal to the public to stop consuming the chocolate products concerned. We would alert the trade to stop selling the affected products,” the centre said in a statement, adding that the products would be tested for melamine.
The recalled products included smaller and bulk packs of dark chocolate, milk chocolate and cookies chocolate.
Local supermarket chains have also voluntarily taken off shelves Oreo wafers, M&Ms and Snickers after the Indonesian government announced that high traces of melamine were found in those popular products imported from China.
Melamine found in milk powder and milk products is blamed for the death of four infants in China and thousands of children being hospitalised.
So far, Hong Kong has found 19 tainted products in the market, including milk, ice-cream bars, biscuits, cakes, crackers, milk candies and most recently baby cereal made by US food maker Heinz.
Health authorities here have said five infants, aged between two and 10 years, developed kidney stones after drinking mainland milk products for months.
A four-month-old baby in nearby Macao was also diagnosed with kidney stones after consuming a Nestle baby formula that was made in China and tested positive for melamine.
