Naughty nibbles not such a sweet treat

11:30am Sunday 2nd November 2008

Residents are being warned not to eat naughty novelty chocolates imported from China.

Anyone planning to tuck into Fifi’s Boobies, Lollipop Boobs or Cheeky milk chocolate bottoms, is instead being urged to take them back to wherever they bought them.

The chocolates are the latest casualties of China’s melamine food scandal.

Carmarthenshire County Council’s head of public protection Philip Davies said the chocolates had been found to be contaminated with high levels of melamine.

They can be bought at sex shops, novelty shops or at lingerie and adult toy parties.

Mr Davies said: “Whilst not a health risk, the chocolate is being withdrawn from sale. Anyone who has bought any should take it back to the supplier.”

The Food Standards Agency has alerted local authorities to the chocolates, manufactured in Zhongshan, China, and imported into Britain by Spencer and Fleetwood, of Epsom, Surrey, which promptly withdrew the chocolate novelty products that have been tested in the UK and found to be contaminated with melamine.

The FSA’s risk assessment is that the sweets are unlikely to be a risk to health.
