Supermarkets pull THOUSANDS of Cadbury dessert products over food poisoning fears

  • Products recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria bacteria

Thousands of packs of Cadbury desserts are being pulled from supermarket shelves following a food poisoning alert.

The products, made by Müller, are being recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria bacteria.

Listeria poisoning causes normal food poisoning symptoms but is a particular threat to the elderly, pregnant women and their unborn babies, and those with compromised immune systems.

The recall is for Cadbury Crunchie Chocolate Dessert, Cadbury Flake Chocolate Dessert, Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons Chocolate Dessert and Cadbury Dairy Milk Chunks Chocolate Dessert. 

Also recalled were Cadbury Heroes Chocolate Dessert (six pack) and Cadbury Daim Chocolate Dessert.

The items can be returned to the store they were bought from for a refund.
