KUALA LUMPUR: Two Cadbury chocolate samples namely Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond were detected to have contained pig DNA (porcine).

The pig DNA was detected by the Health Ministry in the sample of Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut with batch number of 200813M01H I2 and expiry date of Nov 13, 2014; and in the sample of Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond with batch number 221013N01R I1 and expiry date of Jan 15, 2015.

Director-general of Health Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement here today, said the analysis, however, did not find any pig DNA in the sample of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate.

The analysis results showing that pig DNA was detected in Cadbury chocolates went viral on the social media since yesterday.

The samples of the three chocolate products were taken to be analysed for monitoring purposes.

Dr Noor Hisham said the product manufacturer, Cadbury Confectionery Malaysia Sdn Bhd, was expected to recall those products from the market immediately.

"The Health Ministry also advises the public to study the batch number on the product label before consumption," he said.

Possible for the factory to shut down and do a thorough wash up ?

Better, so as to gain back consumer confidence.

Also to trace where these came from, possibly from human intervention, ie hygiene issues.

 

Don't want to go into racial or religious issues, but there are ppl who can't eat pork at all.

Hope won't happen in Singapore.

Yuck, it's disgusting to have things that are not supposed to be in your food.

 

What does Cadbury got to do with pork? I think somebody sabo them.

[Astrid]

Eh ... not bad what: Babi Cokolat ... a new local delicacy!!!

Very ingenious, I must say :-P

 

Will definitely see versions of it ... like chocolate-coated fried/roast pork at MY food haunts like Gurney Drive, Jonkers Walk, and Ipoh town!!!

 

There is no rule against selling pork dishes right?

Great idea this!

And to think, comes from Malaysia. Truly shocking.

 

I detect some sabotage somewhere, and this may just incite more unrest. WE know how reactions have been in the past when there are such cases.

 

Well, CadBURIED and into HOT chocolate(read as burnt)

[Tigerwoods]

I think definitely someone or some competitor sabotage their production ...

I see more as unrest in the community among the other ethnicities as a result of supression. Only way they are getting to their say is through these kinds of acts that hit it right where it could hurt

[Count-Bracula]

There will be a serious backlash. Expect some form of protests with banners and effigies.

Maybe someone didn't get his regular kopi money payment. Heard this was the case with SKII in CHina some years ago.

wait till you get one produced in china

If this, as you imply, is a deliberate act of sabotage, it's in extremely poor taste (pun intended). And it sabotages non-Muslims as well, vegetarians like me, for example.

 

If deliberate, the perpetrator deserves to be farked completely. Malaysia also got serious rotan, right?

 

EDIT: But personally, I doubt it's a deliberate act. The contamination may not even have originated in Malaysia. They need to check the supply chain of their raw materials.

 

DNA assays can be very sensitive, and even trace amounts can flag a positive. But the flip side is that they can also be non-specific. I don't know anything about the assay the Malaysians are using, but I hope they validated it properly to be specific for porcine DNA alone (and not react to say, other mammalian DNA).
