Mansfield: Woman bailed after 'mystery' chocolate makes children ill

People have been warned not to eat "Cali-Gold" chocolate bars

A woman arrested after a number of children who ate chocolate sold at a market became unwell has been bailed.

Police detained the woman following reports people became ill after eating unlabelled chocolate bought at Mansfield Market in Nottinghamshire on Saturday.

They included a 10-year-old boy who was taken to hospital.

The incident was linked to the sale of a chocolate product called "Cali-Gold", the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.

Nottinghamshire Police said a 63-year-old woman who was held on suspicion of administering a noxious substance had since been bailed while investigations continued.

Ian said he bought 10 bars of the chocolate for his children on Saturday

Earlier this week, one family told the BBC how consuming the chocolate had led to their 10-year-old son being taken to hospital.

Ian said he had purchased 10 bars of what was being sold as "mystery" chocolate in gold wrapping without any writing on.

After being given the chocolate as a treat that evening, their four children began feeling sick, hallucinating and acting "spaced out".

When Issacc, who has ADHD and autism, began to worsen, they called for an ambulance and he was taken to hospital.

The Food Standards Agency said its investigations were continuing.

Tina Potter, head of incidents, said: "If you have purchased Cali-Gold chocolate from Mansfield Market in Nottinghamshire you should not consume the product and dispose of it at home.

"If you have already eaten it and developed symptoms, then you should urgently seek medical attention."

Police are investigating along with Mansfield District Council and the FSA
