Mars recalling products in 55 countries: report

LONDON, February 23, 2016

US chocolate company Mars is recalling candy bars and other items in 55 countries after plastic was found in one of its products, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, the company said it recalled some Mars and Snickers bars in Germany due to bits of plastic being found in one product.

The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

"We want to avoid having consumers who bought one of the (affected) products consume them," Mars said in a statement on its German website.

It said the recall affected all Mars and Snickers products, Milky Way Minis and Miniatures as well as certain kinds of Celebrations confectionery boxes with best-before dates ranging from June 19, 2016 to January 8, 2017.

It did not say what the total volume of the affected products was or what financial impact the recall would have.

The German offices of privately held Mars were not available for immediate comment. -Reuters
