Around 21 tonnes of contaminated or damaged Easter eggs and other sweets worth $728,000 have been seized by the police in Italy, a media report said.
After conducting over 850 inspections, health authorities found a large amount of candy covered in mold or parasites, Fox News reported citing Italian news agency ANSA.
Police found that 295 producers across the country followed poor hygiene and food conservation practices and that many products had exceeded their sell-by dates.
Some producers were charged with falsely promoting Easter sweets as handmade when they were actually manufactured commercially.
In Turin, police seized 4,409 pounds of Easter eggs and other sweets from a bakery filled with ingredients and products covered in dust and dead insects, while in Caserta and Cosenza, in southern Italy, seven tonnes of raw materials were seized from three plants and two bakery warehouses that failed to meet health standards.
In Rome, police found 900 cakes falsely labelled as homemade, and another 4,000 pounds of outdated raw materials and stale candies were seized in Bologna and Aosta, in northern Italy.
