Maybe now Cadbury will make all their candy in the UK and stay away from China!

This shocking news has not been given out in the UK yet; although they were quick to tell us about the "Baby Milk" that a dangerous "CHEMICAL" had been put into the milk; therefore, one can't help wondering what other "food products be shall contaminated by such carelessness. I do firmly believe that every "COMPANY" regarding "FOOD PRODUCTS" must improve their safety concerning food, no matter what it MAYBE! This could be consider a form of "terror on a very large SCALE!"

All the Cadbury products we get here are made in Australia. There have been no re-calls - but other products have been.

New shocking! Unfortunately this is a more... among many others.
In France, this is exactly the same thing. The media speak of "accidents" occurred in China. Food dangerous to humans and animals.
But absolutely not yet sold these products in France ! (or, in a television - on France 2 - and called, I think : "Special Envoy" but is distributed extremely late "and usually is not repeated in prime time !!!
For example, the case of contaminated and dangerous kibble for dogs and cats : not a word in the press or television (or, very, very late at night). And the supermarkets and hypermarkets in France say it is only a small number of lots ! But as those found in their rays are good for consumption. Some say we should not listen to the press ! What the press says anything to sell its information. And that only pays sensational !
Ah! Profit, profit ! What is important our lives and those of our animals ! It is absolutely disgusting. It mocks us ! We have taken for fools.

Please, excuse my bad English ! I hope you understand me!
