Earlier this week the Dutch chocolate manufacturer issued a product recall on it’s Dark Almond Sea Salt (180g) and Everything (180g) chocolate bars as they may contain “small stones”.
Now Tony’s has been forced to recall two more chocolates, this time due to fears they may contain metal fragments making them unsafe to eat.

Tony’s is recalling two of it’s large hollow Easter eggs:
You can see all the batch codes of the affected products by visiting the Food Standards Agency or Tony’s Chocolonely websites.
“The rest of the Easter range, including all its small eggs and other products are safe to consume.”
It added: “The source of this issue has been identified and resolved. Tony’s Chocolonely is working in partnership with retailers and food authorities who are in the process of removing impacted products from sale and distribution.”
Meanwhile, Sainsbury’s recalled its Taste the Difference Belgian Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Pretzel on Monday (March 31) over concerns it may contain pieces of metal.

What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
