Mars Chocolate UK, the firm which manufactures the chocolate bars, is recalling Galaxy Cookie Crumble bars weighing 114g which are marked with the ‘best before’ end date of 16 August 2015. The packets feature the batch codes PB21, PB22 and PB23, and may contain a small piece of white plastic.
The Food Standards Agency said that no other products made by Mars Chocolate UK, including other Galaxy bars, are known to be affected.
To ensure the piece of plastic is not mistakenly eaten, the organisation has sent wholesalers a notice to make their customers aware of the recall.
Those who are concerned can contact the consumer care team for more information by phoning 0800 952 0084, writing to GCC, Freepost, Mars Consumer Care, or emailing: recall@uk.mars.com.
In a statement, Mars UK said: “Mars takes quality and food safety seriously and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to our consumers”.
