The company said that 72 of the 73 companies have confirmed that they halted deliveries of potentially contaminated chocolate in time to prevent any hitting the shops and were waiting for a response from the last client. Belgium's food safety agency AFSCA has been informed and a spokesperson told AFP it had opened an investigation.
