Cadbury’s Chinese Produced Chocolate Laced with The Industrial Chemical Melamine
September 29th, 2008
One of the world’s largest candy producers found that chocolate products produced at its China facility are laced with the dangerous industrial chemical melamine.
Melamine is the same chemical which was recently found in 22 Chinese baby formula producer’s products sickening over 50,000 babies at last known count, as well as the chemical which poisoned thousands of American pets last year in pet food ingredients imported from China.
Why is this chemical used in industrial plastics being broadly found in Chinese dairy products? It makes dairy products test higher for protein content, so it is intentionally being added by distributors and potentially dairy companies.
Cadbury sells these products in China, and exports it to counties including Australia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Though Cadbury states the United States was not affected, everyone in international business knows products are often re-exported by distributors to the rest of the world. Poisoned chocolate being shipped to Australia is incredibly terrible, but as it would have been labeled in English, it could have been reshipped to any other English speaking nation.
No word yet on how long this contamination has been going on.
Be safe and check the labels for origin, particularly on food products.
