British candy maker Cadbury says it has recalled 11
varieties of its Chinese-made products after tests showed traces of the
chemical melamine.
A company spokesman says the group has ordered the removal
of candies from store shelves in China, Taiwan and Australia.
The chocolates are mostly distributed in Taiwan and Hong
Kong, but one product line is sold in Australia.
The spokesman did not say how much of the chemical was in
the chocolates. The candies were made at the company's plant in Beijing.
Melamine-laced infant milk has already sickened some
53-thousand babies in China. Four children have died after drinking milk or
milk products laced with melamine.
News of the newly contaminated candies comes as Chinese
authorities announced the arrest today of 22 people in northern China who were
allegedly part of a network that produced and sold milk contaminated with the
chemical melamine.
