Popular chocolate bars sold at a number of UK supermarkets have been recalled as they may contain “small stones”.

Tony’s Chocolonely is recalling certain batches of two of its chocolate products because of the “potential presence of foreign objects”.

The chocolate bars which may contain the small stones are the Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar 180g and the Everything Bar 180g.

Only certain product codes of the chocolate are being recalled.

A spokesman for Tony’s Chocolonely UK said: “We are extremely sorry to have to issue this recall, and for the inconvenience that this will cause people who purchased these products.

“Whilst the probability of a product being affected is low, we always put the safety and satisfaction of our consumers first and that is why we have made the decision to recall these products.

“We apologise to consumers and our partners for the impact this will have.

“This recall only affects these specific products and lot codes. All other Tony’s Chocolonely products remain safe to consume and are not impacted.

“Do you have a bar with the impacted lot number(s)? Please don’t eat the chocolate. Instead, we kindly ask you that you return the product to the store where you bought it for a refund or replacement.”

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If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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.
