‘May cause illness’: Favourite sweet treats recalled
A national recall has been issued for a favourite Cadbury chocolate treat amid warnings it should not be eaten.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand said Cadbury Australia had issued the recall for its 10-piece share bags of Marvellous Creations Jelly Popping Candy Beanies.
The alarm is due to “the presence of foreign matter” and there are fears the chocolate is contaminated with plastic.
“Food products containing plastic may cause illness/injury if consumed,” FSANZ said in Tuesday’s recall notice.
