Several popular chocolate bars have been recalled due to potential contamination. This isn't an April Fool's joke – the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have issued urgent warnings about potentially dangerous inclusions in various products. This article details the affected chocolate bars and what you should do if you've purchased them.
Tony's Chocolonely Recall

Sainsbury's Recall
Sainsbury's has recalled its Taste the Difference Belgian Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Pretzel bar (150g) with batch code L159922 and a best-before date of April 2025.

Other Recalls
Several other recalls are circulating including Lidl's Sol & Mar Chicharricos BBQ Pork Scratchings due to potential salmonella contamination and Tesco's Free From Meal Kits due to unspecified issues. Always check the FSA and your local food safety authority websites for the latest updates on product recalls.
