Fun size packs of Mars and Milky Way amongst those recalled after plastic found in chocolate

Mars Chocolate has recalled batches of fun-size Mars and Milky Way bars and boxes of Celebrations according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The recall which spans 55 countries is a precautionary measure as some chocolate manufactured in the Netherlands may contain pieces of plastic.

‘Mars Chocolate UK has taken the precautionary step of recalling products produced in the Netherlands that possibly contain pieces of plastic. Other products are being recalled in Europe which have not been distributed via the Mars UK distribution route.’

The UK recall from consumers concerns only the products below, with the stated ‘best before’ dates, which were manufactured in the Netherlands and distributed in the UK.
