Tony's Chocolonely Voluntarily Recalls Chocolate Bars in Canada and U.S. Due to Stones Found in Products

Potential Safety Risk Leads to Voluntary Recall of Tony’s Chocolonely Bars

A voluntary food recall has been issued for certain Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate bars sold in Canada and the U.S., after customers reported finding small stones in the products. This recall affects two specific chocolate varieties: the Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt 180g and the Everything Bar 180g. Although no injuries or complaints have been reported in North America, the recall is being carried out as a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety.


Why Were These Products Recalled?

The recall was initiated following reports from a limited number of consumers who found small stones in the affected products. These stones are believed to have been accidentally introduced during the third-party almond harvesting and processing process. Tony’s Chocolonely stated that the presence of the stones was an unintended error in the production chain and not a widespread issue, but they opted to act swiftly to prevent any potential health risks.

Despite the low likelihood of finding stones in the chocolate, Tony’s Chocolonely decided to recall the products to maintain its commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.

What Should Consumers Do?

Alternatively, consumers can dispose of the products. The company has emphasized that the recall is being conducted as a precaution, and no injuries have been reported in connection with the affected items.

In Canada, Walmart has already removed the affected chocolate bars from its shelves, and other retailers may also take similar actions to protect consumers.


Reporting Concerns and Getting More Information

If you have any concerns or have encountered a safety issue with the recalled products, you can report it to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Consumers are encouraged to file a consumer product incident report online if they have experienced any health or safety-related issues after using the recalled chocolate.
