    Cadbury recalls Chinese chocolate

    British chocolate-maker Cadbury is recalling its Chinese-made products over fears of possible contamination.

    At least 50,000 Chinese babies have been sickened and four killed by milk tainted with the chemical melamine.

    Cadbury officials did not say whether traces of melamine had been found in the firm's products, but said tests had "cast doubt"

    At least 50,000 Chinese babies have been sickened and four killed by milk tainted with the chemical melamine.
    Cadbury officials did not say whether traces of melamine had been found in the firm's products, but said tests had "cast doubt" on their safety.

    The firm is recalling products in mainland China as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia.

    China's reputation for food safety has nosedived since the revelations last month that milk products poisoned by melamine were responsible for causing renal problems in babies who drank the milk formula.

    Glad food is one of the few things we don't import much of from China.

    Start checking labels, you would be surprised what comes from China....

    When you purchase toothepaste, start checking labels, toothepaste comes from China

    Of course, we had the dogfood scare a short time ago......
