The chocolate bar manufacturer at the centre of an extortion threat says there’s no confirmed link between its products and illnesses reported by people who ate them.
MasterFoods regional President Andy Weston-Webb said about 30 people called the company’s helpline on Wednesday with various health complaints after eating Snickers and Mars Bars. But "there has been no proper connection reported or established," he told the ABC.
"We’ve had a variety of symptoms—reported headaches, several people with flu-like symptoms, nausea, diarrhea. We’re obviously taking each and every case very seriously. We’ve spoken to each person and fortunately the people who have reported in are all feeling much better now. "
About one million Snickers and Mars Bars will be destroyed on Friday due to the extortion bid. The company recalled the chocolate bars from sale in NSW last Friday after it received three letters claiming seven bars had been contaminated in the Sydney area.
A fourth letter was received on Wednesday at MasterFoods’ head office in Ballarat, Victoria. "We passed it immediately to police and the extortion threat remains against a third party organisation in Sydney," Mr. Weston-Webb said. "The new letter did not require us to change our current or future course of action...We continue to remove Mars and Sni-ckers bars from the shelves and we will also commence destruction of the bars tomorrow. We’d like to bring some closure to this episode."
MasterFoods received the latest letter on the same day tests confirmed a Snickers bar sent to the company’s head office last month was contaminated with a pesticide-like substance. A scientific report on the chocolate bar was inconclusive in defining the contaminant but revealed the substance was similar to a number of commercially available pest poisons and could be harmful to children, NSW police said.
Mr. Weston-Webb said the priority was to destroy the "hundreds and thousands, possibly over a million bars" so there was absolutely no risk of contamination. "We have a(destruction)plan with the food authorities, we plan to start that tomorrow. It will be done in a safe and supervised way," he said.
Mr. Weston-Webb said the plan would be carried out by deep burial at a landfill site at Lucas Heights, in Sydney’s south. "We’ve discussed this destruction process with the environmental protection authority and other experts in the field and we have been advised that deep burial is the preferred option, on the basis of security, responsible environmental management and efficiency," he said.
Snickers and Mars Bars would not be returned to shops until MasterFoods was completely sure it was safe to do so, Mr. Weston-Webb said. Mr. Weston-Webb has not yet seen financial figures to show how badly the recall has affected the company. Members of the public were continuing to report stores still selling the bars, he said. "We’ll continue to be vigilant. We want to make sure nobody is selling products until we feel it is completely safe," Mr. Weston-Webb said.
Who is the backstage manipulator of the incident?
选项
A、The third party organization.
B、A terrorist organization.
C、It is not mentioned.
D、The person who wrote the letters.
答案
C
解析
推理题。文章主要讲述了该事件的发生和进展情况,投毒者及其幕后指使者都没有提到,所以[C]是正确答案。[A]“第三方组织”虽在文中有提及,但并非幕后指使者;[B]“一个恐怖组织”在文中未提及;[D]“写那些信的那个人”的身份没有介绍,不准确。
