Recall of Cadbury Trebor Bassett Easter products - cross-contamination with hazelnuts

12/02/2007

The standard ProdTrac software system traces allergens in ingredients, recipes and manufacturing batches of products. This not only helps enormously in ensuring that product labelling is accurate, it also enables the identification of individual batches of product that might be affected by an inadvertent allergen contamination.

If you were suddenly faced with a contamination alert, perhaps of product batches that were used as components of other products, could you immediately trace the movement of all affected products with 100% accuracy? With the ProdTrac software system you can, giving complete assurance to retail customers.

And you'll be surprised how inexpensive it can be, especially when it pays for itself many times over in resolving a single incident. Contact us for more details.

Cadbury Trebor Bassett has undertaken a full product recall of some of its own brand chocolate Easter products and Cadbury Dairy Milk Miniatures. The affected products may contain a cross-contamination of hazelnut, but do not have an advisory warning to indicate possible nut presence. This makes them unsafe for individuals who are allergic to nuts.

The manufacturer has placed product recall notices (text reproduced below) in the national press and has been in contact with the Anaphylaxis Campaign and Allergy UK who will be alerting their nut allergic members via a mailshot.

-------------------------------- Text of Cadbury Recall Notice --------------------------------

Cadbury is recalling a selection of Easter products due to the absence of appropriate nut allergy labelling. These products include:

Please note, these products are perfectly safe for those who are not allergic to nuts.

ALL OTHER CADBURY PRODUCTS ARE UNAFFECTED

The above Easter products may contain traces of nuts. As a precaution, we advise nut allergy sufferers not to eat any of the above Easter products until they either call the Helpline number or log on to the website below for further information.

To obtain a full refund, please return the products to:
Cadbury Recall, Freepost MID 20061, Birmingham B30 2QOr ring our Helpline number on 0800 818181
