In a reply to the post, Cadbury apologised for Zaccheus’ “unpleasant experience”. The company in its standardised response said it always tries to “maintain the highest quality standards”. The company also requested Zaccheus to share his contact information to further investigate the matter.

X users call for action against company

Several X users advised Robin to sue the chocolate company and demand compensation while some cautioned him to inspect the product and expiry date before consumption.

“Looks like this chocolate didn’t had double wrapping. The reason why dairy milk is double wrapped (golden foil + white paper wrap) is to avoid worms get inside,” one user wrote. “Sue them and claim compensation,” wrote another.

“I am guessing all units manufactured of the same batch will have similar outcomes,” a third user wrote. “We have to have a Sue system with high penalty which goes to consumer in place as against govt pocketing it,” a fourth user said.
