I had recently encountered a problem with my chocolate fridge display, I cleaned the heater bit at the back of the fridge wich was flooded with water and congealed fat, with antibacterial scented spray and when I turned it on and put tge chocolate in everything smelled like the spray, I took all the chocolate out and proceed to clean the fridge with a mixture of baking soda and water which seemed to work alongside the lights only to get the smell off the chocolate, but after running it for a lityle while discovered there is a clogged pipe in the fridge and soon enough the sewage smell like seeped into the already not so good chocolates after I toppedit up with new chocolates, now I wonder if there's anything I can do to save this chocolates of if I'll have to bin them all because of it. I am talking about a lot of money in fancy chocolate, so it is an extremely hard decision to take. Please help.

@vanessa First, I would never give away (I don't sell because it's my hobby) any chocolates that came into contact or smelled like antibacterial spray. If it smells like the spray, it has the spray on it. It also sounds like you just recoated the chocolate and placed them back in the fridge only to have a "sewage" smell return. That again would lead me to just toss the chocolates, fix the fridge, and start over. This is just my 2 cents worth, and maybe Ben will chime in since he is not only an experienced chocolatier but also sells retail. And don't ever forget what my Mom used to say "Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one." Only she didn't use bellybuttons but referred to another part of the anatomy in the rear.

I agree with Chip. This chocolate is contaminated and should be binned. It would suck to take the hit, but I would definitely rather do that than sell an bad-tasting or possibly harmful chocolate.
