Tainted chocolate has once again been found in Canada, this time near Oshawa and Niagara Falls. This was discovered just days after inspectors removed 640 pieces of candy from five stores in Toronto. The public alerted federal inspectors that the recalled candy was still being sold in two stores. However, when the officials arrived, the candy was already sold. Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, other flu-like symptoms, and , was discovered in soy lecithin, an ingredient in making candy in Canada.
I think this is extremely irresponsible on the parts of both the candy stores and federal inspectors. How come they did not find this before? As inspectors, it is their job to find these pieces of tainted candies before they come in contact with the public. My only conclusion is that they have been slacking off. Candy stores also should have people that watch over a finished cargo, so they would know whether the candy is safe or not. I hope this will never again, as it would be a great tragedy for children to die when all they wanted to do was enjoy a piece of candy.
