Another incident involving Cadbury Dairy Milk has emerged in Hyderabad. A user, @gooooboll, shared images of two unwrapped chocolates from the confectionery, both tainted with fungus. Notably, the manufacturing date indicated January 2024, suggesting they should have been safe for consumption for another 12 months. However, the quality of the chocolates left the customer deeply dissatisfied.
The manufacturing of these dairy milk is January 2024, expiry is best before 12 months from manufacture.

Reactions flooded in, with many criticizing the brand for what they perceived as a negligent approach. Some speculated that the fungus issue might stem from local storage problems, absolving the company of direct blame. References were made to past incidents involving worms in Cadbury products, which had already left a bitter taste for many consumers.
One commenter humorously dubbed it the “New edition Cadbury with natural (fungi) substance,” while another recounted their decision to stop purchasing Cadbury products due to previous worm-related issues. Concerned voices advised others to thoroughly inspect their chocolates before consumption.

Interestingly, one user drew a parallel between the situation and the beginning of “The Last of Us,” a popular video game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Additionally, suggestions were made for the original poster to seek assistance from consumer forums.
File a case with consumer court attaching pictures and the shop/ super market details from where you purchased. Don't let it go. @OnlineLegalInd
