*Update* Mars Ireland has released a statement, read here.
Good thing we haven’t been eating any chocolate during lent… *shifty eyes*.
Millions of Mars, Snickers and Milky Way bars produced in the Netherlands have been recalled in 55 countries.
Mars Netherlands have described the move as a “precautionary step” after receiving a consumer complaint about a piece of plastic found in a Snickers bar in Germany.
The red plastic was traced back to a factory in the dutch town of Veghel, where it was found to come from a protective cover used in the manufacturing process.
A warning has been issued about Mars, Snickers and Milky Ways with best before dates between June and October 2016, with the company advising they should not be eaten.
Celebrations and Variety packs have also been recalled.
According to RTE, Ireland is affected by the recall but there have been no complaints thus far.
The company has yet to elaborate on the recall but said more detailed information was to follow.
