Cadbury hit with £1m fine - Guardian
Extract:
"Confectionery giant Cadbury has been fined £1m following last summer's salmonella outbreak in which 42 people fell ill.
The fine was handed down at Birmingham crown court this afternoon. Cadbury had earlier pleaded guilty to a total of nine food safety offences, including not informing the authorities about positive salmonella tests.
The company was also ordered to pay costs of more than £152,000.
The court heard last Friday that the salmonella outbreak followed a decision to change the company's product testing system. Cadbury's had tried to save money and reduce wastage by introducing an "allowable tolerance level" for salmonella in its products, the court was told. Previously it had destroyed any chocolate which tested positive for the bacteria. "
