Summary: Cadbury has a chocolate plant in Beijing and the Beijing plant uses Chinese contaminated milk as an ingredient in its product. It exported these products to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, the Pacific island of Nauru and Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, so it recalls them because it is afraid that the products might contain chemical melamine.
When I first saw the title of this article "Cadbury recalls Chinese-made candy in chemical scare", it interested me very much because food is the most important thing for us to stay alive and if a kind of food contains a dangerous substance, we shouldn't eat that.
"Unscrupulous milk suppliers in China added the cheap, toxic industrial chemical melamine - used in pesticides and plastic-making - to substandard milk to inflate the nitrogen count, which is used to determine protein levels."
This chinese milk contains a toxic substance that should not be in our food at all. The melamine endanger people who eat it too much. This melamine is also used as an ingredients in infant milk; how poor are the babies! These baby are too young and they don't have a strong enough immune system to tolerate it. It also affects adult. How did the milk suppliers in china do that? They thought of only their advantages without thinking about the result. They were too greedy. What if their children eat some food that contains their milk, what will happen? Will they feel sad? When they did this, they should know that one day people will know what they did because melamine is dangerous to people's health. They will not only get no more money, they will also be in jail. It is good that Cadbury recalled its product and I believe that other companies will take their products back too.

You gave a very thorough summary. I think you raised some good questions at the end of your blog post. How will companies feel if people get sick because of their product? If people buy a product and get sick, will it make them stop buying more products?
