TURKISH delight turned into Turkish fright when Jane Barker decided to take a bite of a Cadbury chocolate bar.

Because the Blackburn mum discovered what appeared to be a dead moth within the Dairy Milk treat.

Jane, 38, of Ennerdale Avenue, Blackburn, asked her daughter Aimee-Jane to buy the chocolate for her husband Neil, who is diabetic, because he needed a sugar boost.

But when the 16-year-old returned from the Esso Petrol station and Spar on Shadsworth Road, her mum asked if she could take a quick bite.

She said: “I opened it and when I had it in my hand I spotted where it says Cadbury, written across it in the chocolate itself, it looks like a dead moth.

“You can see wings. it's like it’s engraved within the chocolate. It was horrible.”

Christine’s brother Darren Hanslip, 30, contacted Cadbury to complain.

She said: “I was going to leave it but Darren rang them up and said ‘A child could have had that'.

“They said to send it in and that they would send it away to get it looked at.”

Christine Bridge from Cadbury wrote to Darren, enclosing a pre-paid envelope and asking him to send the chocolate bar to its Bournville headquarters for testing.

She said the chocolate giant was ‘very concerned’ and would now investigate the problem.

Cadbury spokesman Tony Bilsborough said: “It is standard procedure to ask the buyer to send it back to us to look into it.

“Until we see that bar it's impossible for us to know anything and very difficult for us to comment further.”

Jane is now waiting for the company’s response.

But she said she was just relieved her husband had not eaten the chocolate.

She said: “My husband has heart problems and he's diabetic.

"He needed his sugar, but he didn't get it.

“ I'm just glad he didn’t eat it.”
