HYDERABAD : A city resident found a
live worm
crawling inside the
Cadbury chocolate
which he had purchased from a
store at Ameerpet Metro
.
On February 9, Robin Zaccheus, a
social activist
tweeted, “Found a worm crawling in the cadbury chocolate. Is there a
quality check
for these near to expiry products. Who is responsible for
public health hazards
?”
Following the post, food safety officials inspected the store and lifted about 20 samples of the chocolate and the company was instructed to recall all the products bearing the same batch number.
The officials also destroyed some of the chocolates.
Responding to the incident, Cadbury stated, “Hi,
