The Cadbury chocolate that was purchased in Hyderabad had fungus all over it despite being well within its expiration date.

The Hyderabad resident clicked pictures of the chocolate that had gone bad and shared it on social media.

Check out how people reacted to this post here:

“Did they contact to find the batch number or just ignored?” asked an X user. To this, the complainant shared that the company has “ignored” it.

Another added that the “shelf life of chocolate is 15 days”.

A third X user suggested people should “avoid eating chocolates” as such incidents also happened in the past.

“File a case with consumer court, attaching pictures and the shop/supermarket details from where you purchased. Don't let it go,” wrote a fourth.

A fifth said, “Fungus is between pieces 3 and 4, so why is it not visible in the first two pics? The chocolate bar looks disgusting anyway.”

The complainant replied and corrected the user saying that it’s not just one but “two different pieces” of chocolate.

Many expressed facing similar issues with the chocolates manufactured by Cadbury and urged them to “look into the matter”.
