Contamination found at plant in Belgium run by Swiss group Barry Callebaut

Production has been halted in the world’s biggest chocolate plant, run by the Swiss group Barry Callebaut in Wieze,A company spokesman said production had been protectively halted at the factory, which produces liquid chocolate in wholesale batches for 73 clients making confectionery.

There have been no reports so far of any chocolate consumers being exposed to salmonella, which causes salmonellosis, a disease that causes diarrhoea and fever but is dangerous only in the most extreme cases. However, the firm has contacted all its clients and asked them not to ship any products they have made with chocolate made since 25 June at the Wieze plant, which is in Flanders, north-west of Brussels.
