Mars have reportedly issued a recall of Mars and Snickers products in 55 countries after plastic was found in one of its products.
Mars and Snickers products, Milky Way Minis and Miniatures and certain packs of Celebrations with best before dates ranging from 19th June 2016, to 8th January 2017 are thought to be affected by the recall.
Mars said in a statement on its German website 'We want to avoid having consumers who bought one of the (affected) products consume them.'
A spokesman for Mars in the Netherlands told The Associated Press that the recall affects 55 countries which have items distributed from the factory in the Netherlands, including Britain.
The Dutch food safety authority posted what it said was a Mars press release on its website, saying a piece of plastic had been found in a product that could lead to choking.
At present there is no information on this European recall on the UK Food Standards Agency website, the Trading Standards Agency website, or from Mars in the UK. We will keep you updated as more details come in.
