PETALING JAYA: Cadbury Malaysia believes its chocolate products are halal and not tainted with porcine DNA.

The company said although it had voluntarily recalled two batches of Cadbury Dairy Milk products from the market, it had no reason to believe that there was any porcine or pork-related ingredient in its Cadbury chocolates.
