The wholesalers Spar and TopCC have recalled Orient Delight Dubai chocolate due to a mold infestation. There is a risk to health. The chocolate cannot be consumed, according to Recallswiss.
Recallswiss announced that the maximum level of mycotoxins, i.e. toxins produced by mold, was exceeded in the 200 gram bars of chocolate. The chocolate can be returned and the sales price will be refunded, it added.
After Germany, the Dubai chocolate also caused a real rush in Switzerland. In mid-November, queues formed outside the Lindt chocolate factory in Kilchberg ZH when a limited edition of the chocolate bars went on sale. The chocolate is filled with pistachio cream and kadayif, crispy pastry threads that are often used in oriental desserts.
Various food influencers on the TikTok platform had discovered Dubai chocolate from other manufacturers and made it popular. The Swiss chocolate manufacturer Lindt jumped on the bandwagon. However, the chocolate with the green filling is not only produced by Lindt. Numerous smaller chocolatiers have now developed their own interpretations. The bars are eagerly sold on online marketplaces for the equivalent of up to 400 francs per bar.
