The investigation was prompted by police reports of people falling sick after consuming the 'Cali-Gold' chocolate bars. Notably, this led to an arrest connected to these incidents.
Tina Potter, the Head of Incidents at the Food Standards Agency, emphasizes the vigilance of the agency in such matters and the seriousness with which the situation is being dealt with. However, the specific details about the symptoms and the possible pathogen involved have not yet been reported.
