Update:

_The law was very firm, it_  
_took away their permit_

Well, not really. OSHA has however fined Mars Wrigley over the incident.

> Federal workplace safety authorities have fined a central Pennsylvania confectionary factory more than $14,500 following an accident last year in which two workers fell into a vat of chocolate.

Officials refuse to confirm or deny that some plant workers to this day refuse to eat Twix or Kit-Kat bars, or that locals refer to the company’s products as “Sweet Fanny Adams”.
