Popular chocolate brand Tony’s Chocoloney has slapped a ‘do not eat’ warning on two of its large bars as they may contain ‘small stones’.
Customers were warned to avoid the Dark Almond Sea Salt and Everything Bar, and return them to supermarkets where they’ll receive a full refund.
The risk of small stones being present in the product is said to be small, but the brand recalled all affected chocolate bars to ‘ensure the safety and satisfaction’ of its customers.
The urgent safety recall affects the two bars with the specific lot codes: 162633, 162614, 163061, 4331, 4332, 4333.
Dark Almond Sea Salt bars (priced from £3.50) with the best before dates 28 February 2026 and 2 April 2026 should be avoided.
Everything bars (from £3.00) should be returned if the best before date lies between the 26 and 28 November of this year.
In a statement, the company 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.’
The warning comes a day after Sainsbury’s urgently recalled one of its popular own brand chocolate bars over fears it may contain ‘fragments of metal’.
The major supermarket warned customers not to eat its Belgian Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Pretzel 150g bar, £2.50, and to return any bar bought to their nearest store.
The recall affects products with best before dates before the end of April.
Food safety watchdogs have stuck ‘do not eat’ alerts on a number of other items including cereals, cheeses and crisps in recent weeks over allergy, choking and bacteria contamination concerns.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA), which publishes the alerts, issues recalls when problems are spotted with food that means it should not be sold.
