Chelsea Sugar (also known as the New Zealand Sugar Company) has been fined $149,500 for importing and selling sugar products tainted with lead.
More than 970 tonnes of products were manufactured from sugar contaminated during sea transportation from Australia, resulting in the company recalling thousands of products in late 2021.
Two more recalls were needed when it was revealed incorrect information was provided to supermarkets resulting in more tainted goods being released to consumers.
Yeah, my starting point in this post was giving them the benefit of the doubt, because it depends on the detail. But then it seemed I didn’t absorb the article properly because it seems the detail does not look good for Chelsea.
