Cadbury Schweppes faces unlimited fines after pleading guilty to charges in connection to last summer's 'salmonella in chocolate' scare

Cadbury faces unlimited salmonella fines - Telegraph

Extract:

"Chocolate and confectionery giant Cadbury Schweppes faces unlimited fines after pleading guilty to charges in connection to last summer's salmonella scare.

Around a million bars of Cadbury's chocolate were recalled from supermarket shelves last June after the company discovered that a leaking tap had contaminated batches of chocolate in one of its factories with a strain of salmonella.

The group confirmed today that it will be pleading guilty to the three charges brought by Birmingham City Council.

Following a nine-month inquiry, Birmingham City Council announced in April that Cadbury would be prosecuted for putting "unsafe" chocolate in the shops and failing to "immediately inform" the authorities.


Cadbury also faces a third offence of failing to "identify hazards" from chocolate bars contaminated with salmonella and of failing to identify "corrective actions."

Each of the three offences carries an unlimited fine.

The Health Protection Agency said Cadbury's chocolate was the most likely cause of the outbreak that affected more than 30 people."
