Cadbury under pressure - salmonella in chocolate

Cadbury Schweppes has come under fire from UK food watchdogs and media after it failed to report finding traces of a rare strain of salmonella in its products. Despite discovering the cause of the contamination – a leaking waste water pipe – in January, the company did not report the fault to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) until June, 19th. The FSA have issued a ‘food alert and have warned consumers that the Cadbury s bars pose a food risk. A million of Cadbury s most popular brands have been taken from shelves in the UK and shares in the company had dipped by 1.2%.
