Consumers who have purchased these specific products with the affected lot codes were advised not to eat them and instead return them to the store they were bought from for a refund or replacement.
A spokesman for the confectionery firm said: “We are extremely sorry to have to issue this recall, and for the inconvenience that this will cause people who purchased these products.
‘Safety and satisfaction first’
“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.”
Tony’s Chocolonely was founded in 2005 by three journalists from the Dutch TV show ‘Keuringsdienst van Waarde’ after they discovered that the world’s largest chocolate manufacturers were buying cocoa from plantations that used child labour and modern slavery.
The brand has grown to become one of the market leaders in the Netherlands and its bars are now available almost worldwide, with offices in the Netherlands, USA, UK, Germany, Belgium and Sweden.
Full-year results
In 2024, Tony’s Chocolonely posted a €28m (£23.9m) year-on-year revenue increase during 2022/23, which it credited to the successful launch of the Tony Lil’ Bits range a particularly strong performance in the UK, US and Germany.
Speaking at the time, chief executive Douglas Lamont said: “Our results this year demonstrate yet again that partnering with others in the cocoa supply chain and balancing the needs of all our stakeholders is both the right thing and the smart thing to do, to build a successful impact company over the long term.”
Meanwhile, a batch of blue cheese is being recalled because Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) has been found in the product.
