Mondelēz Canada, the company that makes Oreos and Cadbury chocolates, has shut down its Hamilton operation after four employees tested positive for COVID-19.
In a release to Global News, a spokesperson said the company had three cases at its Ewen Road plant, near Main Street West and Osler Drive, mid to late last week with a fourth case on the weekend.
The closure is the second within a week from the candy maker for cleaning purposes connected to positive cases. “As soon as we were informed of the initial cases, we took swift action by launching an urgent investigation focused on the health and safety of our colleagues including contact tracing, and pausing the lines to carry out additional, focused deep cleaning and sanitation,” said Julie
