A woman has been arrested after several people fell ill having eaten chocolate bought from a market stall in Nottinghamshire.
The 63-year-old was detained on suspicion of administering a noxious substance and is helping the police with their investigation into what caused the illness.
Detective Inspector Luke Todd, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: ‘We are currently investigating reports of people falling ill after unknowingly buying chocolate laced with drugs over the weekend.
‘Tests are in the process of being carried out but at present there is no evidence to support claims that the chocolate bars contained any illicit drugs.
‘A 63-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of administering a noxious substance and is assisting the police with our ongoing inquiries.
‘The chocolate bars were reportedly sold in the orange ‘Cali-Gold’ boxes and golden wrappers pictured on Saturday (25 November) in Mansfield Market.
‘Anyone who bought any of this chocolate or recognises the packaging in these images is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police immediately on 101, quoting incident 180 of November 26, 2023.’
Dr Kakoli Choudhury, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) East Midlands, said: ‘If you have already eaten this chocolate and developed symptoms, please call NHS 111 or contact your GP.
‘The small number of people who became unwell have fully recovered.
‘Investigations are ongoing about what may have caused the illness.’
