Food Flood

Awhile back 50-100 years old there was some flood that occurred when a manufactures holding tanks burst. People died, IIRC dozens.

Anyone recall the event or what food type it was. I thought it was chocolate but not coming up with anything.

I recall two stories - one where it was beer, the other chocolate.

Off to Google now.
