Chocolate Bars Recalled Nationwide After Customers Find ‘Small Stones’ in Products

By Jenna Anderson

Certain chocolate bars have been recalled nationwide, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday.

Tony’s Chocolonely, Inc. voluntarily recalled select lots of two different flavors of chocolate bars—Dark Almond Sea Salt and Everything Bar—after receiving reports of small stones in the products.

The FDA is urging customers not to eat the recalled chocolate bars. Instead, return them to the store or throw them away.

Which Chocolate Bars Were Recalled?

The recall impacts seven batches of two Tony Chocolonely chocolate bars: Dark Almond Sea Salt and Everything Bar (milk chocolate with caramel, pretzel, almond nougat, and sea salt).

The affected products were sold across the U.S. starting in February in retail stores and online via the Tony’s Chocolonely website.

The recalled chocolate bars can be identified by the following information:

Why Were Chocolate Bars Recalled?

The recalled chocolate bars may contain small stones, which were not filtered out during third-party almond harvesting and processing, the FDA said.

The recall was initiated after 12 customers reported rocks in the chocolate bars. Tony’s Chocolonely said the reports occurred outside of North America, and no injuries have been reported to date.

What To Do If You Have Recalled Chocolate Bars

Tony’s Chocolonely said the chances of being harmed from an individual chocolate bar are low, but the company is still urging customers to dispose of the products.

If you have the recalled chocolate bars, return them to the store for a refund or replacement, or throw them away.
