Plastic in Cadbury chocolate? Company recalls its popular product amid concerns; what you need to know

A highly popular Cadbury chocolate across Australia has been recalled amid concerns about the presence of “foreign matter” (plastic). Food Standards Australia announced the recall of the 10-piece share bag of Marvellous Creations with jelly and popping candy beanies. The company is recalling one of its most popular products after it was found to potentially contain traces of plastic. The recall order applies to versions of the product with a use-by date of May 26, 2026.

Cadbury Australia has said that the product is sold at retailers across the country. The 160 g chocolate is sold at Coles, Woolworths, Drakes, The Reject Shop, IGA, and independent retailers across the country. Amid the plastic concerns, consumers are warned against eating this chocolate, as it could cause illness or injury if consumed due to the presence of plastic. Instead, they have been asked to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

“Consumers should not eat this product … (and) should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund,” the recall notice issued by Food Standards Australia states. “Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice,” the order further stated. The company says no other Cadbury Australia products have been affected by the recall.
