Pork in Cadbury’s: Malaysian chocolate recalled after DNA traces found

Hazelnut and roast almond bars came up positive for pig DNA during testing for non-halal substances

Chocolate maker Cadbury has recalled two products in mainly Muslim Malaysia after traces of pig DNA were found during a routine check for non-halal substances.

“Cadbury has voluntarily removed two of its products from the shelves,” said the Malaysian health minister, S Subramaniam.

The tests were conducted by the ministry which over the weekend announced that two Cadbury products contained pork traces.

Chocolate products are popular in Malaysia and can be found in most shops nationwide.
Pork and its byproducts are not considered halal – permissible – and are forbidden for Muslims to consume, along with alcohol and meat from animals not slaughtered according to Islamic procedures.

Cadbury Malaysia, a part of the British multinational owned by Mondelez International, said it was withdrawing the Cadbury Dairy Milk hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk roast almond products.

“Ensuring that all our products made here in Malaysia are halal is something we take very seriously,” it said in a Facebook posting.

Cadbury chocolate pork free, says Malaysian Islamic body

Cadbury chocolate has been found not to contain pork DNA by Islamic authorities in Malaysia.

Earlier government tests on two Cadbury products had suggested they might not have been suitable for Muslims.

However, new tests by Malaysian Islamic authorities found no traces of pork in a range of Cadbury products.

Nevertheless, an Islamic consumer body said it would maintain its call for a boycott of Cadbury chocolate.

The boycott would be only be lifted should the earlier health ministry tests be acknowledged as wrong, the body said.

Further tests

Last month, Malaysian Ministry of Health tests appeared to find traces of pig DNA in Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Dairy Milk Roast Almond bars.

Under Sharia (Islamic law), products that contain pork are not considered halal, and so should not be consumed by Muslims.

However, new tests by the Islamic Development Department, part of the Malaysian government, seemed to contradict the findings of the earlier tests.

The department, which has suspended the halal certification of the two Cadbury bars, will review the decision following a visit to the factory for further tests on the production line.

The department said the health ministry had tested products taken from shops, and that the products could have been exposed to porcine DNA after leaving the factory.

The Muslim Consumers Association Malaysia said it would maintain its call for a boycott of Cadbury until the health ministry acknowledged its earlier tests were incorrect.

“There are still a lot of question marks there,” said Sheikh Abdul Kareem Khadaied, head of research at the consumer body.

An official at the health ministry said that it had “handed the entire issue over to the Islamic agency”.

Cadbury Malaysia said last week it had recalled the products alleged by the Ministry of Health to be affected.

It said it had no reason to believe that there were pork-derived ingredients in the chocolates and that it “stood by its halal certification”.

Cadbury products in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia are also currently being tested. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim country.
