Cadbury PLC pulled products made at its Beijing plant from Asian store shelves Monday after finding traces of an industrial chemical in its chocolate, making it the latest corporate victim of China's tainted-milk scandal. Cadbury Asia Pacific said it was recalling all 11 products made at the chocolate factory as a precaution after preliminary test results "cast doubt on the integrity of a range of our products manufactured in China." Most of the recalled sweets are sold in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. One product line, Cadbury Eclairs Candy, is also sold in Australia.Rico says maybe it's better not to eat anything you haven't grown yourself, or bought from someone who did, for awhile, at least until they finish shooting those responsible... (It may take awhile: "Government offices are currently observing a weeklong National Day holiday".)
The Cadbury recall illustrates the difficulty in containing China's tainted-milk scandal. Since the scandal erupted, regulators around the world have found traces of melamine in food that uses dairy products as an ingredient. The U.S., European Union, India, South Korea and others have recalled or banned products.

Turns out Cadbury had problems with the Chinese, too:
