Retailers in Taiwan selling Toblerone chocolate are concerned about food safety after plastic contaminants were found in the brand’s products in Hong Kong. Contact attempts to the chocolate’s import company have been unsuccessful so far. The affected product is the ’Milk Chocolate with Honey and Almond Nougat’ with batch code OOY4233553, weighing 100 grams and best before Dec. 1, 2024. Hong Kong’s Centre for Food Safety is currently investigating the issue, and importers and distributors in Hong Kong have already stopped selling this batch and initiated a recall.

Stores in Taiwan are introducing intelligent shopping carts equipped with either a Barcode Reader (BCR) or Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) system for a modern shopping experience. The BCR option requires shoppers to scan items individually for a self-checkout experience, while carts with RFID systems display item information and total amount due on a chip embedded in the item tags, allowing for faster checkouts. However, the RFID system is ten times more expensive than BCR technology. Retailers rely on an Internet of Things (IoT) system to resolve discrepancies if customers forget to scan or intentionally conceal items. Some patrons find the self-checkout process cumbersome, especially when item scans are inaccurate. Shoppers are advised to double-check their post-checkout details to avoid overpaying due to machine errors.
