SINGAPORE: Cadbury candies in Singapore are not affected by the British recall.
Responding to a query by Channel NewsAsia, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority said Singapore had previously carried out a pre-emptive move by advising all retailers to remove all brands of China-made milk products from the shelves.
On Monday, British sweet maker Cadbury recalled its China-made chocolates from the shelves in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia in the latest fallout from the ever-widening scandal over tainted Chinese dairy products.
The company issued the recalls after internal tests "cast doubt" on the safety of chocolates made in the company's Beijing plant.
However, it was not clear if the tests had shown the products contained traces of melamine, the industrial chemical blamed for sickening 53,000 Chinese children and killing at least four. - CNA/vm
