AS IT IS 2016-02-26 Mars Candy Bars Recalled in 55 Countries in Europe 士力架召回在55个国家出售的巧克力棒


A U.S.-based candy maker 1 recalled some of its candy bars produced in Europe after plastic was found inside them.


The Mars candy company started the recall voluntarily Tuesday of candy made in the Netherlands.


A small piece of red-colored plastic was found inside a Snickers candy bar purchased in Germany, according to a Mars press release. The recall includes Snickers, Mars, Milky 2 Way and Celebrations candies.


The candy was made at the Netherlands facility from December 5, 2015 through January 18, 2016.


In a press release, Mars called the manufacturing mistake “an isolated 3 incident.” The company could not estimate how much candy were removed from store shelves.


Mars said only candies made in “Mars Netherlands” are affected 4 by the recall. Consumers should look at the label on the candy to be sure.


The recall affects 55 countries, said a spokesman for the candy company to the Associated Press. Mars Netherlands exports to many countries in Europe. The AP confirmed that Germany is one of the countries where the candy was recalled.


Mars is one of the largest candy makers 5 in the world. It owns and produces the brands M&M and Dove chocolate. Mars also owns the world’s largest chewing gum maker, William Wrigley Jr. Company.


The candy maker’s headquarters is in the Washington, D.C. area.
