Cadbury recalls old-school favourite chocolate

<p>Cadbury has issued a recall of its highly sought-after Caramilk blocks in Australia.</p> <p>Just weeks after the chocolate bar's re-release, Australian chocoholics are being warned that the product is being recalled for safety reasons.</p> <p>Yesterday, Cadbury released a statement explaining that the chocolate blocks with best before dates 17/01/2019 and 21/01/2019 were "found to contain small, flexible pieces of food grade plastic as a result of a machinery fault during the manufacturing process".</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FCadburyDairyMilkAustralia%2Fphotos%2Fa.122805511077514.16150.107141409310591%2F1825069984184383%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;width=500" width="500" height="664" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></p> <p>Cadbury has urged customers to return the product to ensure their safety.</p> <p>However, some people don’t want to let go of their Caramilk bars because of how in demand they are.</p> <p>"I have 5 blocks with the date 17/01/19 on them you no what id rather choke on the god dam plastic then give it back," Trish Adams commented.</p> <p>Caramilk hasn’t been available in Australian stores since the mid-1990s and, as with all favourite product resurrections, customers were delighted to be able to purchase this popular chocolate bar again.</p> <p>The chocolate bars are so popular that one person from Victoria is selling seven blocks for a whopping $150 online.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">Forget bitcoin <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/caramilk?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#caramilk</a><br /> proving to be a wise investment <br />🍫💰 <a href="https://t.co/1xMYigFt2l">pic.twitter.com/1xMYigFt2l</a></p> — Sarah Czarnuch (@sarah_czarnuch) <a href="https://twitter.com/sarah_czarnuch/status/960479927643459584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2018</a></blockquote> <p>If you were lucky enough to purchase a Caramilk bar that is within the recall category, you can return the bar to the place of purchase, and hopefully they will have more in stock to replace it.</p> <p>Have you purchased a Cadbury Caramilk bar?
