British confectioner Cadbury has recalled 11 of its Chinese-made candy products, Hong Kong food safety officials said Monday. The candy maker appears to be the latest company impacted by a tainted milk recall. The chemical Melamine was first found in powdered infant formula, but has since been traced to dozens of other products. The notice did not mention the reason for the recall. Cadbury said the affected products were made at the company's plant in Beijing and distributed in Hong Kong, according to Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety. snip/ The following products are included in the recall: Cadbury Dark Chocette, 45g Cadbury Dark Chocette,80g Cadbury Eclairs, 180g Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate ,150g Pumpkin Cadbury Dark Chocolate, 40g Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5kg Cadbury Dark Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5kg Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5kg Cadbury Dairy Milk Cookies Chocolate Bulk Pack, 5kg Cadbury Hazelnut Praline Chocolate, 312g (2008 Chinese New Year) Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, 300g (2008 Chinese New Year) snip/ Melamine is the same industrial contaminant from China that poisoned and killed thousands of U.S. dogs and cats last year. Health experts say ingesting melamine can lead to kidney stones, urinary tract ulcers, and eye and skin irritation. It also robs infants of much-needed nutrition.
