However, this return was not complete. The Swiss company has 28 production lines, and of these, only three returned with the operation. The others are still in the cleaning process, and it is estimated that in the coming weeks more lines will be released for normal production.
According to the company's spokesperson, they are still cautious with the cleaning process, as the delay is being great. But he guarantees that the company's priority is to guarantee the food safety of consumers and employees.
The company had its products blocked in June, after the bacteria was detected in items produced at the factory. The source of contamination was lecithin, and all products produced after June 25th were prevented from being distributed. In July, the company informed that no contaminated product reached consumers, which is already a great relief.
Brands such as Hershey’s, Mondelez and Nestlé are supplied by Barry Callebaut. In view of this, the company continues to be monitored by the Federal Food Safety Agency (AFP), so that consumers of the company's products do not run the risk of being contaminated.
Barry Callebaut is the company that most distributes chocolate-based preparations to the sector food, and in the period of 1 year, the company reached the mark of 2.2 million tons sold.
