Chocolate Recall Expanded: Check Your Tony’s Chocolonely Bars For Small Stones

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its recall notice for certain Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate bars sold nationwide. The recall, which was initially announced earlier this month, is now classified as a Class II recall, meaning the products could potentially cause temporary health issues.

Which Chocolate Bars Are Affected?

The recall involves specific batches of two flavors:

• Dark Almond Sea Salt
• Everything Bar (milk chocolate with caramel, pretzel, almond nougat, and sea salt)

These bars were sold in stores and online in the U.S. starting in February. You can identify the recalled bars by checking the following information on the label:

Why Were the Bars Recalled?

Tony’s Chocolonely issued the voluntary recall after receiving 12 reports from customers who found small stones in the chocolate bars. The stones came from almonds that weren’t properly filtered during processing.

What Should You Do If You Have a Recalled Bar?

The FDA and Tony’s Chocolonely advise consumers not to eat the recalled chocolate. Instead, you should:

• Return the bar to the store where you bought it for a refund or replacement.
• Throw the bar away.

If you bought the chocolate online, visit the Tony’s Chocolonely website to see if your bar is affected and to request a refund. While the company says the risk of harm is low, it’s best to be cautious.
