Traces of pig DNA were found in Cadbury
chocolate bars in Malaysia. The Muslims that live there are religious, and
their religion prohibits the consumption of or contact with pigs. Naturally
they were very upset. Since the British chocolate company was purchased by
Kraft Foods, questions were raised regarding the other dairy products of Kraft
(like Oreo cookies). (In the past pig milk, a very fatty milk, could be used to
“enhance the quality” of cow milk or compensate for watering down the cow
milk.)
