Cadbury Recalls Popular Chocolate Over Plastic Contamination
A bit of a shock for chocolate lovers today — Cadbury Australia has announced a recall of one of its most popular treats, the Marvellous Creations Jelly Popping Candy Beanies share packs, because they might contain pieces of plastic. Yes, you heard right — plastic. And as much as we enjoy a bit of crunch in our chocolate, this is definitely not the kind we want.
The recall specifically affects the 160-gram share bags of the 10-piece Marvellous Creations Jelly Popping Candy Beanies with a best-before date of 21 May 2026 . These chocolates, made by Mondelez Australia, have been sold nationwide at major outlets including Coles, Woolworths, IGA, Drakes, The Reject Shop, and various independent retailers.

Food Standards Australia issued an official alert warning that anyone who has purchased the affected chocolates should not eat them. The recommendation is to take them back to the store where they were bought for a full refund. And if anyone has already eaten the chocolate and feels unwell, medical advice should be sought immediately.
The concern is that consuming the plastic fragments could cause injury or illness — and obviously, that’s a risk no one wants to take. While the exact cause of the contamination hasn’t been publicly detailed, recalls like this usually come after either quality control testing or consumer complaints alert the manufacturer to a potential hazard.
Cadbury, a brand trusted by millions, is taking this step as a precaution to protect consumers, but it’s still disappointing news for anyone who had these colourful, candy-filled chocolates ready for an afternoon snack. It’s a reminder that even the biggest and most reliable food brands aren’t immune to occasional production slip-ups.
For those wanting more details, Mondelez Australia has provided a customer service line — 1800 034 241 — for inquiries about the recall.
In the meantime, if you happen to spot one of these share bags in your pantry, it’s best to resist the temptation. Return it, get your refund, and maybe choose another Cadbury favourite until the issue is sorted out. Food safety comes first, even when it means saying no to chocolate — at least for now.
It’s a bit of an unexpected twist for something called “Marvellous Creations.” But as the saying goes, better safe than sorry — especially when it comes to what we’re putting in our mouths. Hopefully, this recall is resolved quickly, and the only thing popping in our chocolate will be the candy, not unwanted surprises.
