Preliminary tests have found melamine in Cadbury's Chinese-made chocolates, the company says. The main concern lies in the milk solids.
Melamine is an organic base which is added to foods to increase their apparent protein content. In small doses, it will cause no apparent harm, but when combined with cyanuric acid and ingested (or combines while ingested) it will create fatal kidney stones.
Currently, there are recalls in Australia and there has been recorded deaths in China.
