Tony’s Chocolonely Chocolate Recalled For Containing Small Rocks
On April 1, Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., a New York, New York Corporation, voluntarily recalled many of its chocolate bars out of concern that the product may contain tiny stones. These bars were distributed nationwide and sold online. Distribution of the treats in question began February 7, 2025, and ended March 24, 2025.
The recall came after 12 consumer complaints (outside of the U.S. and Canada) were submitted to the company. The company suspects the stones hadn’t been filtered out during third-party almond harvesting and processing. No one consumed the rocks or was injured.
