A chocolate manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall of certain chocolate bars sold in the U.S. and Canada, because they could contain “small stones.”
Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., based in Amsterdam, Netherlands and has offices in places like New York City, announced the recall on Monday, saying the chocolate bars in question were distributed to retailers in Canada and the U.S.
According to the announcement, seven lots of Tony’s brand Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar (6.35 oz) and Everything Bar (6.35 oz) were being recalled “because the product may contain small stones.”
The candy bars were sold in U.S. retail stores and on the company’s website, www.tonyschocolonely. The notice said distribution of the recalled bars began on Feb. 7 and ended on March 24.

No other lot codes were included in the voluntary recall, and Tony’s Chocolonely said the action was taken to ensure the safety of its consumers, as a precautionary measure.
Consumers who possess one of the candy bars in question are encouraged to return the item to the store it was purchased from for a refund or replacement or simply dispose of the product.
