So, I checked the Cadbury website, and this is what I found:

Hoax Email Notice
Official notice from Cadbury Trebor Bassett - 4 October 2006
We are aware that an email has been circulating that suggests that Cadbury products which were the subject of a limited recall in the UK and Ireland in June 2006, will be dumped in markets outside of Europe. This statement is entirely untrue.
In June 2006, as a precautionary measure Cadbury in the UK and Ireland conducted a recall of a small number of product lines sold in the UK and Ireland because there was risk that a very small number of these products may have contained traces of salmonella.
None of the affected batches were exported by Cadbury to other countries outside the UK and Ireland.
Cadbury identified the source of the problem, rectified it and arranged for the removal of these products from sale in the UK and Ireland ? any recalled products are destroyed with independent verification.
The recall of the affected products in the UK was completed by August 1 and following notification to the UK regulatory authorities, new stocks have been on sale from that date.
We would emphasise that no products exported or manufactured outside the UK and Ireland were affected by the recall and consumers can continue to enjoy Cadbury products with confidence.
