Cadbury's Salmonella Recall

The Hill Billy

Due to the recent recall by Cadbury's - I sent back one of the 250g Turkish Delight bars. (The missus made me despite my protests that we'd get way more compo by eating it & contracting salmonella. )

Anyway, fair dues to Cadbury's - on Wednesday they sent us stamps to the value of what it cost us to post the bar & today we received a box of Milk Tray & a couple of 100g bars of choccy. [Image of elderly postie with dodgy hip dressed in black with balaclava parachuting into driveway.]

Anyone else received anything yet?

I was under the impression that only one or two products were recalled in Ireland,but I could be wrong.

I doubt that that woman will be successful as it is pretty much impossible to prove that she contracted salmonella from one of their bars.

As for the products recalled in Ireland - all of the above with the exception of the 10p Freddo's are on sale here. (You can get them in N Ireland though.)

While their not 10p, Freddo's are for sale in Ireland

According to the Cadbury recall notice - it was specifically the Freddo's with "10p" printed on the wrapper. They're not for sale in Ireland.

how many people still have their easter eggs?!

no wonder they didn't announce it at the time it actually happened, it would have crippled their easter sales.

Between boycotting Mars because of their "believe" campaign [no, i didn't want to believe in an English World Cup victory]. Nestle because of unethically selling baby milk to African countries [there was a recent report on this long-running scandal]. And, Cadbury's because of the salmonella thing.

... I'd say obesity in the country has dropped dramatically over the last few months.

Actually, it was apparently a very rare strain of salmonella that she contracted.. the very same rare strain that was found in the Cadburys bars ...I'm thinking she'll get some moolah out of them !

This is from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland website.

The FSAI has been informed of a trade recall initiated by Cadbury Ireland. The implicated products are being recalled as some may be contaminated with Salmonella Montevideo , which would make them unfit for human consumption.

The products being recalled from sale in Ireland are all batches of:

Cadbury Dairy Milk Turkish 250g
Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel 250g
No other Cadbury products on the Irish market are affected.

However, additional products in the UK have been affected. They are:

Cadbury Dairy Milk Mint 250g
Cadbury Dairy Milk 8 chunk
Cadbury Dairy Milk 1kg
Cadbury Dairy Milk Button Easter Egg 105g
Cadbury Freddo 10p
