BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) - Cadbury Schweppes PLC pleaded guilty Friday to three violations of food and hygiene regulations after some of its chocolates were found to be contaminated with salmonella.
Cadbury recalled a number of its chocolate products last year after the contamination was discovered. The recall cost at least 30 million pounds ($60 million), the company said.
The company's lawyer, Anthony Scrivener, entered the pleas during a 10-minute hearing in Birmingham Magistrates Court. Cadbury International Ltd. is based in Birmingham, where John Cadbury started the business in 1824.
