The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has urged the public not to eat a chocolate bar called ‘Cali-Gold’, which has been available for sale at Mansfield Market in Nottinghamshire.
The agency said it is working with relevant authorities to find out whether there has been wider distribution of this product.
This follows police reports of illness in the Nottinghamshire area after consuming these products. The police have arrested one person in connection with the incident.
“We are working with local authorities, the UK Health Security Agency and Nottinghamshire Police to investigate an incident following reports of illness after eating Cali-Gold chocolate,” Tina Potter, head of incidents at the FSA, said.
“If you have purchased ‘Cali-Gold’ chocolate from Mansfield Market in Nottinghamshire you should not consume the product and dispose of it at home. If you have already eaten it and developed symptoms, then you should urgently seek medical attention.”
