The Swiss chocolate maker Barry Callebaut has paused production at a plant in Belgium, after discovering a salmonella-positive lot, the company confirmed on June 30.
In a statement, the Zurich-based company said all products manufactured since June 25 in Wieze, a village in East Flanders, have been placed on hold. The facility, which Barry Callebaut says is the world’s largest chocolate factory, produces around 270,000 metric tons of cocoa and chocolate products annually.
