Following the discovery of salmonella in a production batch, a chocolate factory in Belgium temporarily closed its doors.
According to a statement released by the firm on Thursday, Swiss chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut halted production at its facility in Wieze, Belgium, on Monday.
The Wieze plant, according to the official tourism website Visit Flanders, is the largest chocolate factory in the world.
“Food safety is of utmost importance to Barry Callebaut. We were able to swiftly identify lecithin as the source of the contamination thanks to our effective food safety systems in place “The incident was reported to the Belgian food authorities (FAVV), the business added in the statement.
A fatty component called lecithin is utilised to bond the chocolate’s other ingredients together.
The business claimed to have taken preventative precautions, including recalling all goods created after the testing. Wieze will continue to stop producing till further notice.
According to the statement, “We are currently contacting all customers who may have received impacted products.”
No contaminated chocolate had “reached the retail food chain,” according to a statement released by Barry Callebaut on Friday.
The business, which generated approximately $8 billion in revenue during the fiscal year 2020–21, makes chocolate for other chocolatiers, including independent chocolatiers and well-known corporations, but it will not name them.
“Now that he has the time, Barry Callebaut will work diligently on the root cause study while keeping the FAVV updated. After that is finished, the production process will resume after the lines have been cleaned and sanitised “The business stated.
