Your Favorite Candy Is Probably Being Recalled Thanks To This Simple Piece Of Plastic

Mars Candy, the popular US chocolate maker, is recalling candy bars in 55 countries around the world after the company found some plastic in one of its products.

The Associated Press reports that the recall will affect 55 countries. While sources show that the voluntary recall affects products in Netherlands produced earlier this year.

According to the Dutch food safety authority, a piece of plastic was responsible for the recall. Consumers could potentially face a choking hazard when consuming the candy.
