Product Recall by Tony's Chocolonely
In a recent announcement, Tony's Chocolonely Inc., based in New York, has taken proactive measures by recalling two chocolate products due to possible contamination. This recall affects seven lots of the company's popular Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar and Everything Bar, each weighing 6.35 ounces. The products were distributed widely across the United States, both through retail stores and the official website from February 7 to March 24, 2025.
Details of the Recall
The recalled products are listed as follows:
- - Tony's Chocolonely Everything Bar
- Lot codes: 4327, 4330, 4331, M4331 (various best before dates until November 2025)
- UPC: 850011828564 (and others)
- - Tony's Chocolonely Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar
- Lot codes: 163094, 162634, M162634 (best before dates until April and February 2026)
- UPC: 858010005641 (and others)
Notably, no other products by Tony's Chocolonely are affected by this recall. The issue came to light following several reports of consumers discovering small stones in the chocolate bars, which were not filtered out during the almond harvesting and processing stages. Importantly, these complaints were filed only outside the United States and Canada, and fortunately, there have been no injuries reported.
