Company Response

A spokesperson for Tony’s Chocolonely UK apologised to customers, stating:

“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.”

They added that only the specific batches listed above are affected, and all other Tony’s Chocolonely products remain safe to consume.

What to Do if You Have an Affected Product

Consumers in possession of a recalled chocolate bar are advised not to eat it. Instead, they should return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or replacement.

Tony’s Chocolonely has urged customers to check the lot numbers on the back of the packaging to determine if their product is included in the recall.

What is a Product Recall?

A product recall occurs when a food product is found to pose a potential health risk to the public. It may involve withdrawing the product from sale or asking customers to return the item for safety reasons.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) helps coordinate these recalls and issues alerts to inform local authorities and consumers. In more serious cases, the FSA can issue a ‘Food Alert for Action’, which details the steps to be taken to protect the public.

For more information, consumers can visit the Food Standards Agency website or contact the store where they purchased the product.
