Chocolate-Maker Says Chocolate Factories Worm-Free

BOMBAY (Reuters) - Cadbury India Ltd said on Tuesday chocolate samples at
its factories in western India were free of any "infestation" after health
officials said they found dead and live worms in chocolates picked from a
store in Bombay.



"We have checked all samples of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate at the factory
and have found them to be of good quality and free of any traces of
infestation," Cadbury India sales and markets director Vidyut Arte said in a
statement.


Cadbury India issued the statement after officials at the Food and Drug
Administration (news - web sites) of the western Maharashtra state said
laboratory tests confirmed that worms were present in Cadbury Dairy Milk
chocolates taken from the small suburban Bombay store.


The state government lab conducted the tests following complaints by a group
of people about live worms in chocolates bought from the store.


Arte said Cadbury India, a unit of Cadbury Schweppes Plc that has four
factories in India, learned about the laboratory report through local media
reports.


He said chocolates were susceptible to infestation if they were stored near
grains or in unhygienic conditions.


The statement added the company provided its 650,000 retailers in India with
storage dispensers and conducted periodic checks at stores to maintain
quality control.

Thanks. You're right of course. I was afraid that it would disappear into
the ether- Oddly Enough articles often do.

Well, for the short time that you want people to see it from usenet, a
link will be good enough.

Thanks for understanding. I'm a writer, you see, so copyrights is a
touchy subject for me.

however.)
