Chocolate rocks, but typically not literally: A bunch of popular chocolate bars were just recalled because—drumroll, please—they may contain “small stones,” according to the FDA.
On April 1, per the FDA, the New York–based chocolate brand Tony’s Chocolonely, Inc. announced they were voluntarily recalling seven lots of two of their flavored bars: the brand’s 6.35-ounce dark almond sea salt bar and the 6.35-ounce everything bar (which Tony’s Chocolonely describes as “milk chocolate with caramel, pretzel, almond nougat, and sea salt.”) The recall was initiated in response to 12 reports of consumers finding small stones in the products “not filtered during third-party almond harvesting and the almond processing process,” according to the FDA announcement. None of the complaints originated in the US or Canada, and no injuries were reported, the FDA said.
“Whilst the chance of any individual product being affected is low, and we have not yet received any complaints in North America, we have decided to take this step in order to ensure the safety and satisfaction of Tony’s Chocolonely consumers in an abundance of caution,” the company said in a statement on its website.
Both bar products were distributed across the US and available for sale via retail stores and the Tony’s Chocolonely website (tonyschocolonely.com), according to the FDA. Distribution began on February 7 and ended on March 24, the FDA said. Tony’s Chocolonely sells products at popular retailers like CVS, Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods, as well as online.
In the US, the affected lot codes—identifying numbers often assigned to a specific batch or quantity of products for tracking purposes—are as follows, according to Tony’s Chocolonely. You can find the lot code printed on the side of the wrapper, according to the Tony’s Chocolonely website.
Dark almond sea salt bar (6.35 oz): Lot numbers 163094, 162634, and M162634
Everything bar (6.35 oz): Lot numbers 4327, 4330, 4331, and M4331
The chocolate company’s website also includes a helpful tool that allows you to check your lot code. If you find out your sweet treat is affected? Definitely do not eat it, due to the risk posed by the potentially present stones, according to the FDA. You can return the products to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement, or you can dispose of them yourself. For more information, contact Tony’s Chocolonely USA at +1(503) 388-5990.
