More than a million Cadbury chocolate bars are being taken off the shelves around Britain and Ireland over fears that they may have been contaminated with salmonella.

Cadbury-Schweppes said that it had agreed to recall seven of its most popular products in the UK as a precautionary measure after consultation with the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The contamination was detected at Cadbury’s Marlbrook plant, near Leominster in Herefordshire. A Cadbury spokeswoman said that it was due to a leaking pipe bringing cleaning water into the plant, which has now been fixed.

Cadbury said that anyone who had eaten a chocolate bar over the past few days should not be concerned. A spokesman said: "The levels are significantly below the standard that would be any health problem, but we are taking this measure as a precaution.
