Independent<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Residents of a\u00a0Swiss<\/a>\u00a0town got a bit of a shock when it started snowing particles of a fine cocoa powder after the ventilation system at a chocolate factory malfunctioned.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Lindt<\/a>\u00a0& Spruengli company confirmed local reports on Tuesday that there was a minor defect in the cooling ventilation for a line for roasted \u201ccocoa nibs\u201d in its factory in Olten, between Zurich and Basel.<\/p>\n

The nibs, fragments of crushed cocoa beans, are the basis of chocolate.<\/p>\n

Combined with strong winds on Friday morning, the powder spread around the immediate vicinity of the factory, leaving a fine cocoa dusting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
