Hmmm, why was there salmonella anyway in the plant? Never mind on the food...............

cookiemonster25

can take anything upto 5 days for symptoms so best to be aware, however they have said the bacterial counts are really low and it takes a reasonable amount to cause symptoms so hopefully all will be well
salmonella can get in a number of ways, a worker with symptoms or who has returned to work too soon after the illness, contminated ingrediants, leaking drains etc

They could be a bit more specific - products made since when?

iseethestrals

gonna ask same question, is it ones with certain sell by dates?

This has really bothered me. Just after Easter my little boy (two years old) was really ill - started to be sick and then 24ish hours after we had it the other end and this lasted for just over a week. My mom was also poorly but not as bad. It may be just a coincidence but he had been bought a buttons egg and I think they both shared it.

I cant believe that in June they are trying to recall Easter eggs that would probably have been manufactured before Christmas!

In Sainsbury's today an assistant was filling a trolley with the large mint bars from the shelves, I thought this was strange.

Now I know why !

According to the MD this potential problem (which he claims effects less than 1% of product) has existed since January. He also said that the possible salmonella conatmination is 30 times lower than would cause sickness. However, I would have though that a single salmonella bug, or whatever they are, could cause you to get sick. It's not like a poison or something where you have to have a certain amount.

I called Cadbury's earlier: apparently it's all of the named products, irrespective of the batch number.

If there's no need to worry if you've already eaten one, I don't quite see why I should bother to return the one I haven't eaten. (If you see what I mean.)
