Swiss chocolate giant Barry Callebaut on Thursday announced it has suspended production at its plant in Wieze, Belgium—the world’s largest chocolate factory—after a salmonella outbreak was detected.
, Barry Callebaut said it halted production after detecting salmonella in a production lot at its Wieze factory on Monday.
The company said it has informed Belgian food authorities about the outbreak and has blocked all products manufactured since Monday’s test. The chocolate maker is also reaching out to customers who may have purchased any contaminated products, the statement added. Barry Callebaut’s own experts have identified the additive lecithin—used in all chocolate production—as the source of the contamination.
The company said it plans to get to the root of the issue while keeping regulators informed and added production will only resume after the investigation is complete and production lines are cleaned and disinfected.
