Cadbury recalls China-made chocolates

30/09/2008 8:15:00 AM.  | Victoria Owens & AAP
Chocolate lovers are being warned to check their sweets with a health scare forcing supermarkets to pull Cadbury products off their shelves.

The fall-out from China's toxic milk scandal has hit Australian chocolate suppliers, after preliminary tests found some of Cadbury's chocolates made in China did contain traces of melamine.

As a result thousands of Cadbury chocolates have been binned in Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as a precaution.

All up 11 brands are affected, including Cadbury Éclairs, but the company says its Pascals éclairs are still safe to eat.

China's recent food safety scandal started with the discovery of melamine, which is used to make plastics, in baby milk powder.

Four infants have died and some 54,000 have developed kidney stones or other illnesses after drinking the contaminated baby formula.

Authorities say suppliers might have added melamine, which is rich in nitrogen, to watered-down milk to deceive quality tests for protein.
