Chocolate bar urgently recalled by major supermarket over fears it contains ‘metal fragments’

A CHOCOLATE bar has been urgently recalled by a major supermarket over fears it contains “metal fragments”.

Sainsbury's has issued a warning to its customers telling them not eat its Belgian milk chocolate and to return any bar bought to their nearest store.

The recall affects the Belgian Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Pretzel 150gbar, with best before dates before the end of April.

Customers who have already bought the chocolate have been urgently advised to return the confectionery for a full refund.

The supermarket giant said: “If you have purchased the above product with the affected batch code, please do not consume this product and instead return it to any Sainsbury’s store for a refund.”

An urgent recall was issued when metal fragments were discovered in some of the products.

Sainsbury's customers have been reassured however, that no other products have been affected by this issue.

In a post on its website, the supermarket apologised to customers for “any inconvenience caused”.

For any further information, shoppers have been asked to contact Sainsbury’s Careline team on 0800 636 262.

This comes just hours after an urgent recall was issued over a popular Spanish-style crisp that could pose a health risk.
