Chocolate fingers' controversy tests resilience of chocolate manufacturer Kandos

10 Aug 2023 | BY Lahiru Doloswala

Ceylon Chocolates Limited, the industry leader famed for its delectable Kandos chocolates, is on high alert following a barrage of unsettling allegations on social media. 


In a move to address these concerns head-on, the company has launched an intensive internal inquiry aimed at upholding its storied reputation. In a meticulously-worded press release, the company pledged to leave no stone unturned in its investigation. 


The incident that sparked this turmoil involved a shocking encounter by a female staffer at Mahiyanganaya Hospital. What she initially believed to be a nut nestled within her 'fruit and nut' chocolate bar turned out to be a fragment of a human finger, culminating in a stomach-churning revelation.


Promptly alerting health officials, the incident drew the attention of Public Health Inspectors (PHIs). Their intervention prompted the immediate removal of the implicated chocolate product from store shelves.


Notably, the incident triggered an outpouring of support from the brand's devoted clientele, who have taken to social media to fervently defend the legacy of the Kandos chocolates.
