The french government has seized ten tons of counterfeit chocolates.
Lab tests and an examination by Ferrero itself found that the seized candies were harmless but low-quality copies. They arrived in France by refrigerated truck from Turkey and were seized in late November.
"It was the first time we had ever seized chocolates," Hocquerelle said — and what a seizure: 10 tons of coconut-filled dark chocolates and milk chocolate balls worth an estimated $312,000.
The french government will be destroying the chocolates. Seems like a waste. They should give them to the homeless like they did with the caviar.
