Why Is the Chocolate Being Recalled?

Tony’s Chocolonely has issued a recall of some of its chocolate bars because a dozen consumers outside North America have reported finding small stones in the product, according to a press release about the recall. The stones were identified as coming from a third-party almond harvesting and processing company that supplied ingredients for the chocolate bars. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported yet.
