Interesting news, for those choc lovers, that more than a million Cadbury chocolate bars are to be removed from shelves amid fears that they may be contaminated with salmonella. Bit of a worry, as I was earlier today enjoying one of their new Dairy Milk with... bars. Foruntately it's not one of the ones that's been affected.
Reading into the story, ignoring the ITN slant that we're all going to die a horrible death, etc..., etc..., or the Daily Mail's view it's all part of a New Labout plot to assasinate their editor, it seems Cadbury have known about this "small issue" for over 5 months. It's only been decided to remove the product after a small rise in cases of the rare strain of salmonella, identified by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) back in January, started cropping up in healthcare reports.
Reading up on the Food Standards Agency website, there's also news about problems with Flora margarine.
All goes to show that the health option is still to process raw food's yourself. Hmmm, wonder if I can make my own chocolate...
