Hyderabad: Following the recent discovery of a worm in a Cadbury chocolate bar purchased from a popular retail store by a resident of Hyderabad, the Telangana State Food Laboratory has released an analytical report stating that the chocolate sample was contaminated with white worms and webs.
Prompted by a complaint from Robin Vinay Kumar Zaccheus, a resident of Hyderabad, authorities took action by inspecting the store and obtaining samples from the same batch implicated in the incident. These samples were subsequently sent to the Telangana State Food Laboratory for analysis.
According to the laboratory’s analytical report, the sample of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate (Roast Almond) was found to be contaminated with white worms and webs, thus rendering it unsafe for consumption under section 3.1(zz)(iii)(ix) of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006.
However, the authorities have stated that the report pertains solely to the submitted sample. As of now, Cadbury has not issued a statement regarding the matter.
