The most common element in 250g Dairy Milk Turkish, Dairy Milk Caramel and Dairy Milk Mint bars, the Dairy Milk 8 chunk and the 1kg Dairy Milk is the recently reported salmonella. Cadbury relegates the presence of salmonella to one of the leaking pipes at Marlbrook plant, near Leominster, Herefordshire. Though the test reports prove that strains of salmonella were found in the general crumb mixture in all the products, yet Cadbury denies their presence in the final product.



The consequences of the presence of salmonella were a recall of the products, which Cadbury claims was a ‘precautionary measure’. Cadbury’s should have been responsible enough to report Food Standards Agency, if it had spotted strains in the crumb mixture along with the area where it was found. However, being one of the leading confectioner’s brand Cadbury should monitor its manufacturing process before packaging of the same.
