Bad Chinese Food: First Milk, Now Chocolate

Where: Hong Kong
October 6, 2008 at 12:30 PM | by ced138 | 1 Comment

Dog food. Milk. Chocolate--and Cadbury, no less, that brand of creamy, rich decadence that puts the saccharine, grainy Hershey to shame.

Powdered milk killed four infants, poisoned tens of thousands of others, and sent hysteria rippling through China. Now, health regulators in Hong Kong have announced that higher-than-legal traces of melamine, the same chemical that was found in the milk, has been discovered in Cadbury chocolate products. Say it isn't so.

The crisis has affected domestic milk sales and exports, while regulators wrangle to sort out the tainted batches and officials point fingers at who's to blame for the whole mess. Vegans, however, step back and chuckle at all the muddling. The punishment for subsisting on food-flavored carob is having to eat food-flavored carob all the time. This here is the reward.

    Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not Cadbury!!

    And I hope the picture of my all-time favourite chocs, the Cadbury Creme Eggs, is just a random representation of Cadbury and doesn't mean they're the ones that are dangerous ... otherwise life wouldn't be worth living.
