Imagine yourself eagerly unwrapping a Cadbury Dairy Milk to serve your cravings and discover an unwanted surprise, fungus. That is what happened with a Hyderabad's resident doctor.
The doctor didn't wasted his time and immediately lodge an online complaint against this.
The manufacturing of these dairy milk is January 2024, expiry is best before 12 months from manufacture. Found them like this when I opened it.Doctor
The post immediately became viral and flooded with the comments of concerned consumers. Few people discussed about their similar experience while some of them blamed the shopkeeper for not keeping the chocolate in cold place to avoid melting.
Cadbury acknowledged this complaint and expressed regret for the unpleasant experience and stated that Mondelez India Foods Private Limited (formerly Cadbury India Ltd) always strives to maintain the highest quality standard of chocolates.
Also, they asked the individual to contact them to address the concern.
A similar incident was reported previously on X by the user Robin Zaccheus, who bought the chocolate from Ratnadeep Retail store at Ameerpet Metro station in Hyderabad. He shared a video of a worm crawling on the chocolate along with the purchase receipt on X (formerly Twitter) and raised concern to both the company and government authorities.
According to various media sources, food safety officers inspected the store, seizing about 20 samples of the chocolate and instructing Cadbury to recall all products having the same batch number.
