A company spokesman said production had been halted at the factory and that 'all products manufactured since the test have been blocked.'
Salmonella bacteria have been discovered in the world's biggest chocolate plant, run by Swiss giant Barry Callebaut in the Belgian town of Wieze, the company said Thursday.
Belgium's food safety agency AFSCA has been informed and a spokesman told AFP it had opened an investigation. The scare comes a few weeks after a case of chocolates contaminated with salmonella in the Ferrero factory in Arlon in southern Belgium, which manufactures Kinder chocolates. Swiss group Barry Callebaut supplies cocoa and chocolate products to many companies in the food industry, including industry giants such as Hershey, Mondelez, Nestle or Unilever.
