Here is the information you need to know about the Cadbury recall, which saw a number of chocolate desserts pulled from store shelves due to health concerns.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a warning requesting customers to return the chocolate items to the retailer out of concern that they might be contaminated by a bacteria that causes food poising, leading to the recall of six Cadbury sweets made by the manufacturer Muller.
The announcement follows Lidl’s recent recall of some chocolate, Tesco, Aldi, and Iceland’s recent recall of a breakfast cereal due to safety concerns, and an early-year announcement of an urgent cheese recall. The complete Cadbury recall information, including which items are affected and what to do if you’ve already bought them, is provided below.

Why Are Cadbury Desserts Being Recalled?
A number of Cadbury’s desserts are being recalled because listeria bacteria may be present. Listeria, which can be brought on by bacteria, can produce symptoms like high fever, chills, muscle pain, and diarrhea.
The NHS states that listeriosis frequently resolves on its own and is typically not serious for most patients. However, the infection can occasionally result in serious side effects like sepsis or meningitis.
Pregnant women, new mothers, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems all have an increased chance of significant issues.
According to the FSA, this bacterium can cause symptoms that are comparable to the flu, such as high fever, muscle discomfort or ache, chills, feeling or being unwell, and diarrhea.
Over 65s, pregnant women and their unborn children, infants under one-month-old, and individuals with compromised immune systems are some groups of people who are more susceptible to listeria infections.
