pagar por comer caca...

Hace muchos años, cuando conocí los chocolates Cadbury, me enamoré perdidamente. Me imaginé que debido a su alto costo nunca iban a llegar a Chile, pero…

...gracias al escherichia coli, hemos tenido una verdadera invasión de estos caCadbury que no se pueden comercializar en Inglaterra, por lo tanto qué mejor que mandarlos a países subdesarrollados donde estamos acostumbrados a este tipo de ingesta. Total entre comer caca criolla o caca “by appointment to her majesty the Queen” no hay donde perderse… y además a muy razonable precio.

Aquí copio algunas notas de prensa que se publicaron en el Reino Unido:

Cadbury faces prosecution over Salmonella contaminationBirmingham City Council is to prosecute Cadbury following a nine month investigation into last year’s Salmonella scare. In June, Cadbury will face three charges: supplying “unsafe” chocolate, failing to “immediately inform” authorities, and failing to “identify hazards" and take “corrective actions”. 37 people became ill after a cleaning machine pipe carrying waste dripped water on a conveyor belt, contaminating the chocolate. The Health Protection Agency traced the Salmonella enteritidis montevideo infections to a Cadbury factory in Malbrook, Hertfordshire, where the contamination had been identified and confirmed months earlier.

UK blames Cadbury for Salmonella outbreak21.jul.06ReutersLONDON - Britain's Health Protection Agency was cited as saying on Friday that the consumption of products made by sweets and soft drinks firm Cadbury Schweppes Plc was the key reason for a recent outbreak of Salmonella in the UK, stating, "After carefully considering all the available evidence the (outbreak control team) concluded that consumption of products made by Cadbury Schweppes was the most credible explanation for the outbreak of Salmonella Montevideo."


Cadbury to consider payouts for victims of salmonella outbreak22.jul.06Independent Online Edition (UK)Martin Hickmanhttp://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article1190550.eceCadbury was cited as saying it will consider compensating victims of salmonella poisoning after health officials named its chocolate as the prime suspect for an outbreak earlier this year.Britain's biggest confectioner promised to "take seriously" any case arising from a mysterious spate of infections throughout the spring, which put two children in hospital.The Health Protection Agency (HPA) concluded that consumption of infected Cadbury's products was the "most credible explanation" for 37 cases of salmonella poisoning reported between March and July this year.The statement is another blow to the reputation of Cadbury - against whom the Food Standards Agency and local authorities are considering a prosecution for breach of health and safety legislation.The company took five months to inform the Food Standards Agency that salmonella had infected chocolate crumb at its Marlbrook plant in Herefordshire in January.Even then, as it withdrew one million bars of seven products from sale last month, the FTSE 100 company was insisting its chocolate was safe to eat.Yesterday, the HPA said that of 49 non-travel-related "primary cases" of Salmonella Montevideo since 1 March, 37 were of the same strain of salmonella, SmvdX07, that was found in Cadbury's products including Dairy Milk.Detailed food histories for 15 of the patients - whose average age was two - discounted many common sources of food poisoning such as eating out and takeaways. The only strong link was that 13 of them had eaten Cadbury products.
